shell script for long listing of groupnames
Hello,

When listing the file systems (using ls -ltr) , if the group names are longer the group name is getting truncated.

Can someone help with the script which would display the truncated group name?

I appreciate if someone could help in this regard.

Multiple posting is frowned upon on this board. Why not find out what Operating System you are running and make a detailed post on that board showing what Operating System and version you are running, what Shell you use, what commands you typed against example data, what output you expected and what actually happened?

Try...
Code:
perl -e 'foreach (@ARGV) {$gid=(stat($_))[5]; $gn=(getgrgid($gid))[0]; printf "%s %s\n", $gn, $_}' file*
