thanks.. been playing around with this. the line I have now is
Code:
ls -l / | grep '^d' | awk '{print $5, $1, $2, $8, $9}'

which give me pretty much the output I want but the fields are not lined up. like its missing some kind of a tab or something? I suspect there is an option in the that comes after print.. but i dont see one that lines up he fields.

almost there.
