Hi,

Is there any way to find the epoch timestamp for a file without having to use fancy perl (or similar) scripts? If anyone knows of a way to do this using just ksh commands it would be appreciated.
(It also appears I don't have the stat command available).
Alternatively is... (3 Replies)
I have several users connecting via a Windows-based SSH\telnet client. The previous sysadmin used FacetTerm to allow certain users to switch between multiple "windows." I'm told there are AIX-native ways to do this but I work with what I inherited.
Originally, many users were still connecting... (3 Replies)

sar(1M) System Administration Commands sar(1M)NAME
sar, sa1, sa2, sadc - system activity report package
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sa/sadc [t n] [ofile]
/usr/lib/sa/sa1 [t n]
/usr/lib/sa/sa2 [-aAbcdgkmpqruvwy] [-e time] [-f filename]
[-i sec] [-s time]
DESCRIPTION
System activity data can be accessed at the special request of a user (see sar(1)) and automatically, on a routine basis, as described
here. The operating system contains several counters that are incremented as various system actions occur. These include counters for CPU
utilization, buffer usage, disk and tape I/O activity, TTY device activity, switching and system-call activity, file-access, queue activ-
ity, inter-process communications, and paging. For more general system statistics, use iostat(1M), sar(1), or vmstat(1M).
sadc and two shell procedures, sa1 and sa2, are used to sample, save, and process this data.
sadc, the data collector, samples system data n times, with an interval of t seconds between samples, and writes in binary format to ofile
or to standard output. The sampling interval t should be greater than 5 seconds; otherwise, the activity of sadc itself may affect the sam-
ple. If t and n are omitted, a special record is written. This facility can be used at system boot time, when booting to a multi-user
state, to mark the time at which the counters restart from zero. For example, when accounting is enabled, the svc:/system/sar:default ser-
vice writes the restart mark to the daily data file using the command entry:
su sys -c "/usr/lib/sa/sadc /var/adm/sa/sa'date +%d'"
The shell script sa1, a variant of sadc, is used to collect and store data in the binary file /var/adm/sa/sadd, where dd is the current
day. The arguments t and n cause records to be written n times at an interval of t seconds, or once if omitted. The following entries in
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/sys will produce records every 20 minutes during working hours and hourly otherwise:
0 * * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
20,40 8-17 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
See crontab(1) for details.
The shell script sa2, a variant of sar, writes a daily report in the file /var/adm/sa/sardd. See the OPTIONS section in sar(1) for an
explanation of the various options. The following entry in /var/spool/cron/crontabs/sys will report important activities hourly during the
working day:
5 18 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -s 8:00 -e 18:01 -i 1200 -A
