Code:
filesec()
{
   perl -e '$epoch = (stat("$ARGV[0]"))[9]; print "$epoch";'  "$1"

}

find /somepath -type d | 
while read fname 
do
     now=$(date "+%s" )
     filetime=$( filesec "$fname")
     echo "Directory $fname last updated $(( $now - $filetime ))"
done

-- this code won't work on Solaris, Solaris date does not like %s

scottn - It may be homework, but I kinda doubt it. We get this question a lot.
