Full Discussion: Help with sorting files according to modification date
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Help with sorting files according to modification date Post 302387864 by pludi on Monday 18th of January 2010 04:15:30 PM
Old 01-18-2010
Which OS are you on? I'm assuming Linux here, as you said it's a shared hoster:
Code:
find . -type f -name '*.php' -exec ls -ltr {} \+

Otherwise:
Code:
find . -type f -name '*.php' -print | xargs ls -ltr

Beware, though, that in the case of a lot of files found the list might not be 100% correct, as ls can only sort the files found on the command line, which might be fewer than there are really.

A little hint for the next time: keep a current list of cryptographic checksums (at least MD5 and SHA1, maybe more) offsite, so you can quickly compare any changed/removed/added files.

rdd-verify

VERIFIER(1)						      General Commands Manual						       VERIFIER(1)

NAME

       rdd-verify - verifies checksums and hash values generated by rdd-copy(1)

SYNOPSIS

       rdd-verify [OPTION] file1 ...

DESCRIPTION

       Rdd-verify  verifies  checksums	and  hash values generated by rdd-copy(1).  Rdd stores checksums (Adler32 or CRC32) in files.  These files
       must be passed to rdd-verify for verification.

       Hash values (MD5 or SHA1) computed by rdd-copy(1) must be passed to rdd-verify on the command line as hexadecimal strings.

       Rdd-verify reads all input files (file1, ...) and recomputes the checksums and hash values that the user wishes to verify.   The  verifica-
       tion will very likely fail if the concatenation of the input files is different from the source that was copied by rdd-copy(1).

OUTPUT

       All verification errors are reported on stderr.

OPTIONS

       -?, --help
	      Print a usage message.

       -V, --version
	      Report version number and exit.

       -v, --verbose
	      Be verbose (more messages).

       -v, --verbose
	      Be verbose (more messages).

       --checksum, --adler32 file
	      Verify the Adler32 checksums stored in file.

       --crc, --crc32 file
	      Verify the CRC32 checksums stored in file.

       --md5, --md5 digest
	      Recompute the MD5 hash value.  It should be equal to digest.

       --sha, --sha1 digest
	      Recompute the SHA1 hash value.  It should be equal to digest.

       A digest argument is a hexadecimal string.  Leading zeroes may not be omitted.

EXAMPLES

       rdd-verify --md5 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef disk.img

	      Compute the MD5 hash value over disk.img and verify whether it equals 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef.

       rdd-verify --adler32 checksums.a32 disk.img

	      Compute the adler32 checksums over disk.img and compare each checksum to the corresponding checksum in checksums.a32.
