How do I get the last modified date of a file?
I am trying to load a group of files and their last dates modified into a text file that will in turn be used with SQL*Loader to load these files into Oracle. I am using a *.ksh script. I am getting the name of the file in by using the following:

for file_ext in 'cat loaddir.ext';
do
find $base_dir -name "*."$file_ext >> loaddir.list
done;

Where loaddir.ext contains the list of vaild file extensions.

Is there a way that I could load the timestamp of each different file at the same time I am loading the name?

Thanks,

Amber Taylor

modules-load.d

MODULES-LOAD.D(5)						  modules-load.d						 MODULES-LOAD.D(5)

NAME

       modules-load.d - Configure kernel modules to load at boot

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/modules-load.d/*.conf

       /run/modules-load.d/*.conf

       /usr/lib/modules-load.d/*.conf

DESCRIPTION

       systemd uses files from the above directories to configure kernel modules to load during boot in a static list. Each configuration file is
       named in the style of /etc/modules-load.d/<program>.conf. Note that it is usually a better idea to use the automatic module loading by PCI
       ID, by DMI ID or similar triggers configured in the kernel modules themselves instead of relying on static configuration like this.

CONFIGURATION FORMAT

       The configuration files should simply contain a list of kernel module names to load, separated by newlines. Empty lines and lines whose
       first non-whitespace character is # or ; are ignored.

       Each configuration file is named in the style of <program>.conf. Files in /etc/ overwrite files with the same name in /usr/lib/. Files in
       /run overwrite files with the same name in /etc/ and /usr/lib/. Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/, files in
       /etc/ are reserved for the local administration, which possibly decides to overwrite the configurations installed from packages. All files
       are sorted by filename in alphabetical order, regardless in which of the directories they reside, to ensure that a specific configuration
       file takes precedence over another file with an alphabetically later name.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1. /etc/modules-load.d/virtio-net.conf example:

	   # Load virtio-net.ko at boot
	   virtio-net

SEE ALSO

       systemd(1), modprobe(8)
