Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to get timestamp of a file in HPUX Post 302501848 by methyl on Saturday 5th of March 2011 05:26:11 AM
Old 03-05-2011
For the benefit of those who have been posting Linux or GNU versions of commands and add-ons, HP-UX is a fairly normal unix. Mentioning the exact version of HP-UX always helps.

When a file is more than 6-months old it is not possible to display the "updated" timestamp in HP-UX (or umpteen standard unix variants) with a basic "ls" command.

The exact timestamp is still there in the inode. If you need the value it is available through a custom "C" program or downloadable add-ons (I have read you post).

Reading between the lines please bear in mind that the unix "find" command is very powerful when looking for files of a given age. Processing the output from "ls" is hard work.

Bottom line: What are you trying to do? What did you try? What went wrong?

NAME
ktutil -- manage Kerberos keytabs SYNOPSIS
ktutil [-k keytab | --keytab=keytab] [-v | --verbose] [--version] [-h | --help] command [args] DESCRIPTION
ktutil is a program for managing keytabs. Supported options: -v, --verbose Verbose output. command can be one of the following: add [-p principal] [--principal=principal] [-V kvno] [--kvno=kvno] [-e enctype] [--enctype=enctype] [-w password] [--password=password] [-r] [--random] [-s] [--no-salt] [-H] [--hex] Adds a key to the keytab. Options that are not specified will be prompted for. This requires that you know the password or the hex key of the principal to add; if what you really want is to add a new principal to the keytab, you should consider the get command, which talks to the kadmin server. change [-r realm] [--realm=realm] [--a host] [--admin-server=host] [--s port] [--server-port=port] Update one or several keys to new versions. By default, use the admin server for the realm of a keytab entry. Otherwise it will use the values specified by the options. If no principals are given, all the ones in the keytab are updated. copy keytab-src keytab-dest Copies all the entries from keytab-src to keytab-dest. get [-p admin principal] [--principal=admin principal] [-e enctype] [--enctypes=enctype] [-r realm] [--realm=realm] [-a admin server] [--admin-server=admin server] [-s server port] [--server-port=server port] principal ... For each principal, generate a new key for it (creating it if it doesn't already exist), and put that key in the keytab. If no realm is specified, the realm to operate on is taken from the first principal. list [--keys] [--timestamp] List the keys stored in the keytab. remove [-p principal] [--principal=principal] [-V -kvno] [--kvno=kvno] [-e -enctype] [--enctype=enctype] Removes the specified key or keys. Not specifying a kvno removes keys with any version number. Not specifying an enctype removes keys of any type. rename from-principal to-principal Renames all entries in the keytab that match the from-principal to to-principal. purge [--age=age] Removes all old versions of a key for which there is a newer version that is at least age (default one week) old.
