ls -l won't give me seconds

[lmcatech]

ls -l returns the file modify time only down to the minute. How can I get the modify time of a file as hour, minutes and seconds? I'm running Solaris 2.6. Thanks,

ls -lt

As far as I know ls -lt will only give modification times to the minute. I think I've seen a request similar to this in one of the forums on Tek-Tips, but I haven't been able to find it yet. I'll keep looking, but you could try searching the Solaris forum for words which might be associated with modifiaction times. Cheers.

Found it. Use:

truss -vlstat -tlstat ls -l <filename>

See Thread60-214609 for a fuller explanation. Cheers.

Hello !

JoseJ, this (

ls -lt

) does not seems to work.
From the man and the test I have done the -t option only sort the files by date instead of alphabetical order but does not display the seconds. I have tried on HP UX and Solaris 2.8. What Unix do you use ?

I use UNIX SCO 3.2v4.2. I thought that the command ls -lt could work
I am sorry

Saludos
