hi Yogesh Sawant, thank you very much for your reply.
when i run the stat command, the console shows me a message "command not found"
i have refer many forums, most of the ppl said that we cant get the created date of a file in unix system, is that true?
if we cant get the file's created date, which means we are not able to check how old is the file right?
