Script to change date/time
Hi everybody!
I need to perform a task with a script but I have no idea how to do it, I hope someone could help me:
- on my linux pc I have many folders with movies, tv shows, toons, ecc.
They are shared by a dlna server to my panasonic tv where I can browse and see them.
The problem is that they are sorted with date/time only and there's no way on the TV or on the dlna server to change the sort method to alphabetical.
What I need is a script that changes date/time (no matter to when, but every file should be 1 min or 1 hour or one day more than the previous) according to the alphabetical order, within each subdirectory of a master path.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance and best regards!
Alex

nwfstime
NWFSTIME(1) nwfstime NWFSTIME(1)
NAME
nwfstime - Display / Set a NetWare server's date and time
SYNOPSIS
nwfstime [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -s ]
DESCRIPTION
nwfstime displays a NetWare server's date and time. You can also set a NetWare server's date and time from the local time.
OPTIONS
-h
With -h nwfstime prints a little help text.
-S server
is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login. To set the server's time, you need supervisor privileges.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwfstime
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login. As you need supervisor privileges for setting the date and time, this
option is probably not used very often.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-s
With -s, nwfstime sets the file server's date and time according to the local date and time.
