retrieve timestamp associated with a file
Hi All,
I am involved in a Datawarehousing project where my data files(ASCII text) are loaded on a Unix directory. When I do a Ls -l in Unix prompt i get a file listing along with the timestamp when these files were created/put on the server. I need to retrieve the timestamp associated with each file. Is there any command that takes in the filename as an argument and returns the timestamp associated with it?? Or is there any other way to get the timestamp for each file..
Urgent help is sought!!
Thanks in advance..
Nilotpal.

amcheckdump
AMCHECKDUMP(8) System Administration Commands AMCHECKDUMP(8)
NAME
amcheckdump - check the results of an Amanda dump
SYNOPSIS
amcheckdump [--timestamp|-t timestamp] [--verbose] [-o configoption...] config
DESCRIPTION
Amcheckdump verifies Amanda dump images by reading them from storage volume(s) and verifying that the images can be parsed by the
appropriate application (if available). For example, a GNUTAR image is passed to GNU Tar for parsing, and any errors (e.g., corrupt or
missing data) are noted.
The application runs on the most recent dump or, if --timestamp is specified, on the most recent dump with that timestamp. Note that the
verification is local to the Amanda server; if the dump application is not available, or is configured differently on the server than on
the client, then the verification will most likely fail.
If a changer is available, it is used to load the required tapes. Otherwise, the application interactively requests the tapes.
See the "CONFIGURATION OVERRIDE" section in amanda(8) for information on the -o option.
EXAMPLE
# check the most recent dump
amcheckdump MYCONFIG
# check a specific dump from back in '78
amcheckdump MYCONFIG --timestamp 19780615
