Thanks for your replys

that does not seam to work for me, I am using OpenBSD So i think in my case i would use date -j for the date. When try that it sais invalid time format

stat gives me below and the date i am looking for is "Nov 17 10:00:06 2009". If i load that into date -h it does not work i am sure because it has "Nov" in it.

4868 21129858 -rw------- 1 root wheel 84642584 186447 "Nov 21 07:16:04 2009" "Nov 17 10:00:06 2009" "Nov 21 14:00:05 2009" 16384 368 0 /var/log/maillog.100.gz

If i run "stat -f "%N %m" /var/log/maillog.100.gz" it will give me "/var/log/maillog.100.gz 1258470006" however not sure how to break apart the "1258470006" into month and day.
