Help with grep to show date/time of file

Hi,


This is similar to what's been asked in the post below:

grep to show date/time of file the string was found in.


The solution sort of work / not work, the problem is if there is no match, then xargs does a full listing. That is if it found file/s that matches the search string and hence file exist, it does list the files but if it doesn't find a match it do a full listing instead Smilie


See example below:


Code:
$: ls -ltr
total 16
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file1
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file2
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file3
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file4
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file5
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
$: grep -il "bad" * | xargs ls -l
-rw-r-----   1 tester   dba           15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
$: grep -il "corrupt" * | xargs ls -l
total 16
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file1
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file2
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file3
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file4
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file5
$: uname -a
SunOS [hostname] 5.11 11.3 sun4v sparc sun4v
$: cat corrupt.txt
BAD FILE FOUND

And just realized I can just actually just do ls -l but it gave me the same behaviour:


Code:
$: ls -l `grep -il "bad" *`
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
$: ls -l `grep -il "corrupt" *`
total 16
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            15 Mar 19 09:36 corrupt.txt
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file1
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file2
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file3
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file4
-rw-r-----   1 tester   omg            0 Mar 19 09:36 file5

I guess this is the expected behavior but kinda hoping it'll just do nothing if it doesn't find any or print something maybe instead? Any suggestion?

servertool(1)						      General Commands Manual						     servertool(1)

NAME
servertool - The Java(TM) IDL Server Tool servertool provides an ease-of-use interface for application programmers to register, unregister, startup and shutdown a server. SYNOPSIS
servertool -ORBInitialPort nameServerPort [ options ] The command-line tool displays with a servertool > prompt. Enter commands at the servertool > prompt. The -ORBInitialPort nameServerPort option is required. The value for nameServerPort must specify the port on which orbd is running and listening for incoming requests. You must become root to start a process on a port under 1024. For this reason, we recommend that you use a port number greater than or equal to 1024 for the nameServerPort. DESCRIPTION
The servertool provides the command-line interface for the application programmers to register, unregister, startup, and shutdown a server. Other commands are provided to obtain various statistical information about the server. OPTIONS
-ORBInitialHost nameServerHost Specifies the host machine on which the name server is running and listening for incoming requests. The nameServerHost defaults to localhost if this option is not specified. If orbd and servertool are running on different machines, you must specify the name or IP address of the host on which orbd is running. -Joption Pass option to the Java virtual machine, where option is one of the options described on the reference page for the java application launcher. For example, -J-Xms48m sets the startup memory to 48 megabytes. It is a common convention for -J to pass options to the underlying virtual machine. COMMANDS
register -server serverClassName -classpath classpathToServer [ -applicationName alternateServerName -args argsToServer -vmargs flagsTo- BePassedToJavaVM ] Register a new server with the Object Request Broker Daemon (ORBD). If the server is not already registered, it is registered and activated. This command causes an install method to be invoked in the main class of the server identified by the -server option. The install method must be public static void install(org.omg.CORBA.ORB). The install method is optional and enables the developer to provide their own server installation behavior (for example, creating database schema). unregister -serverid serverId | -applicationName name Unregister a server from the ORBD by using either its server id or its application name. This command causes an uninstall method to be invoked in the main class of the server identified by the -server option. The uninstall method must be public static void unin- stall(org.omg.CORBA.ORB). The uninstall method is optional and enables the developer to provide their own server uninstall behavior (for example, undoing the behavior of the install method). getserverid -applicationName applicationName Return the server id that corresponds with an application. list List all information about all persistent servers registered with the ORBD. listappnames List the application names for all server currently registered with the ORBD. listactive List all information about all persistent servers that have been launched by the ORBD and are currently running. locate -serverid serverId | -applicationName applicationName [ -endpointType endpointType ] Locate the endpoints (ports) of a specific type for all ORBs created by a registered server. If a server is not already running, it is activated. If an endpoint type is not specified, then the plain/non-protected endpoint associated with each ORB in a server is returned. locateperorb -serverid serverId | -applicationName applicationName [ -orbid ORB_name ] Locate all the endpoints (ports) registered by a specific ORB of registered server. If a server is not already running, then it is activated. If an orbid is not specified, the default value of "" is assigned to the orbid. If any ORBs are created with an orbid of empty string, all ports registered by it are returned. orblist -serverid serverId | -applicationName applicationName ] Lists the ORBId of the ORBs defined on a server. An ORBId is the string name for the ORB created by the server. If the server is not already running, it is activated. shutdown -serverid serverId | -applicationName applicationName ] Shutdown an active server that is registered with ORBD. During execution of this command, the shutdown() method defined in the the class specified by either the -serverid or -applicationName parameter is also invoked to shutdown the server process appropriately. startup -serverid serverId | -applicationName applicationName Startup or activate a server that is registered with ORBD. If the server is not running, this command launches the server. If the server is already running, an error message is returned to the user. help List all the commands available to the server through the server tool. quit Exit the server tool.
