Question File overwriting

Hi, An application is transferring a file to linux system with same file name. As file is transferring with same name always file will be overwritten. In this case we want to know what times file was overwirtten like below.
Code:
Modify: 2014-05-12 00:52:01.000000000
Modify: 2014-05-12 00:54:04.000000000
Modify: 2014-05-12 00:55:06.000000000
Modify: 2014-05-12 00:56:10.000000000

Is there a linux command to findout all modified timestamps of a file.


thanks

chsh - change your login shell SYNOPSIS
chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-u] [-v] [username] DESCRIPTION
chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one. chsh is used to change local entries only. Use ypchsh, lchsh or any other implementation for non-local entries. OPTIONS
-s, --shell shell Specify your login shell. -l, --list-shells Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit. -u, --help Print a usage message and exit. -v, --version Print version information and exit. VALID SHELLS
chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on the system. However, it will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in the /etc/shells file. On the other hand, it can also be configured such that it will only accept shells listed in this file, unless you are root. EXIT STATUS
