Code:
for LINKS in `ls`
do
    TIMESTAMP=`perl -e '@d=localtime ((stat(shift))[8]); printf "%02d/%02d/%4d %02d:%02d:%02d\n", $d[4]+1,$d[3],$d[5]+190
0,$d[2],$d[1],$d[0]' $LINKS`
     echo $TIMESTAMP $LINKS
done

Also, is there any way I can pass the filenames directly in a single command without using the for loop. I tried

Code:
find ./ -type f <perl command> {} \;

but it does not work.

any help here is really great.
Code:
find ./ -type f -print -exec command '{}' \;


cheers,
Devaraj Takhellambam

clockdiff

CLOCKDIFF(8)						 System Manager's Manual: iputils					      CLOCKDIFF(8)

NAME

       clockdiff - measure clock difference between hosts

SYNOPSIS

       clockdiff [ -o]	[ -o1]	destination

DESCRIPTION

       clockdiff  Measures  clock difference between us and destination with 1 msec resolution using ICMP TIMESTAMP [2] packets or, optionally, IP
       TIMESTAMP option [3] option added to ICMP ECHO.	[1]

OPTIONS

       -o     Use IP TIMESTAMP with ICMP ECHO instead of ICMP TIMESTAMP messages. It is useful with some destinations, which do not  support  ICMP
	      TIMESTAMP (f.e. Solaris <2.4).

       -o1    Slightly	different  form  of  -o,  namely it uses three-term IP TIMESTAMP with prespecified hop addresses instead of four term one.
	      What flavor works better depends on target host. Particularly, -o is better for Linux.

WARNINGS

       o Some nodes (Cisco) use non-standard timestamps, which is allowed by RFC, but makes timestamps mostly useless.

       o Some nodes generate messed timestamps (Solaris>2.4), when run xntpd. Seems, its IP stack uses a corrupted clock source, which is synchro-
	 nized	to  time-of-day  clock periodically and jumps randomly making timestamps mostly useless. Good news is that you can use NTP in this
	 case, which is even better.

       o clockdiff shows difference in time modulo 24 days.

SEE ALSO

       ping(8), arping(8), tracepath(8).

AUTHOR

       clockdiff was compiled by Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>. It was based on code borrowed from BSD timed daemon.

SECURITY

       clockdiff requires CAP_NET_RAWIO capability to be executed. It is safe to be used as set-uid root.

AVAILABILITY

       clockdiff is part of iputils package and the latest versions are  available in source form for anonymous  ftp  ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-rout-
       ing/iputils-current.tar.gz.
