[superstarjpmc]

1) How can i find the time of creation of a directory ? ( not modified or accessed time )

2) How can i change the system clock to BST/GMT ?

hi,

1) afaik you cannot

2) That largely depends on the flavour of your Unix.
You might get more help in a more specific forum.
But to begin with:
There might be a shell Variable $TIMEZONE.
Try man timezone.

If it's AIX, there's a couple of responses in that forum.

1) Unix don't have creation time. The much closer seems to be the inode change time.
2) The standard way to change the local time is to play with the TZ environment variable. You can try [tt]man environ[/tt]

Hope This Help, PH.
