Listing file names as soon as they are created
Hi,
I have been looking for a method to list file names as soon as they are created. I have used the following command :
find . -name "*.xml" -mmin -2 -exec ls --full-time {} \; | sort -k6
this finds all xml files created in the last 2 minutes and orders them by time. The problem is that our unix system does not set the milliseconds for the file creation timestamp, so the ordering of files is done at the seconds scope, but i need the milliseconds in order to list the files in the correct order, because many are created at the same second.
I would need a command like "tail" that outputs the file names the moment they are created. either a command or a script would be great.
if any clarification is required please let me know.
thanks.

oggz-sort
oggz-sort(1) General Commands Manual oggz-sort(1)
NAME
oggz-sort -- Sort the pages of an Ogg file in order of presentation time.
SYNOPSIS
oggz-sort [-o filename | --output filename ] filename
oggz-sort [-h | --help ] [-v | --version ]
Description
oggz-sort sorts an Ogg file, interleaving pages in order of presentation time. It correctly interprets the granulepos timestamps of Ogg
CELT, CMML, Dirac, FLAC, Kate, PCM, Speex, Theora and Vorbis bitstreams. Run oggz-known-codecs(1) for a full list of codecs known by the
installed version of oggz.
Some encoders produce files with incorrect page ordering; for example, some audio and video pages may occur out of order. Although these
files are usually playable, it can be difficult to accurately seek or scrub on them, increasing the likelihood of glitches during playback.
Players may also need to use more memory in order to buffer the audio and video data for synchronized playback, which can be a problem when
the files are viewed on low-memory devices.
Some older Ogg encoders also produce pages which incorrectly have granulepos timestamps recorded that shouldn't be: pages which have no
completed packets must have a granulepos of -1. oggz-sort will correct such granulepos during the process of sorting.
The tool oggz-validate can be used to check the relative ordering of packets in a file, and also to detect incorrect granulepos on pages
with no completed packets. If either of these errors are reported, or use oggz-sort to fix the problem.
Options
oggz-sort accepts the following options:
Miscellaneous options
-o filename, --output filename
Write output to the specified filename instead of printing it to standard output.
-h, --help
Display usage information and exit.
-v, --version
Output version information and exit.
EXAMPLES
Correct the page ordering in broken.ogv:
oggz sort -o fixed.ogv broken.ogv
