timestamp accuracy on EXT4 (sub millsecond)

view full story
linux-howto

http://stackoverflow.com – I was writing some code in Vala where I would first get the system time, then create a file, then retrieve the time stamp of that file. The timestamp would always be earlier that the system time, somewhere between 500 and 1500 micro seconds which didn't make sense. I then wrote a simple shell script: while true; do touch ~/tmp/fred.txt stat ~/tmp/fred.txt|grep ^C done With the the following result: Change: 2013-01-18 16:02:44.290787250 +1100 Change: 2013-01-18 16:02:44.293787250 +1100 Change: 2013-01-18 16:02:44.296787250 +1100 Change: 2013-01-18 16:02:44.298787248 +1100 Change: 2013-01 (HowTos)

Stories similar to timestamp accuracy on EXT4 (sub millsecond)

Hi I have file like the below mentioned example. Need some kind of unix script to achive the output. Input:

Code: PA|23|2013-01-23|252 PA|23|2013-01-23|264 PA|25|2013-01-22|200 PA|23|2013-01-27|156 PA|23|2013-01-27|002 PA|23|2013-01-27|014 Output:

Code: PA|23|2013-01-23|264 PA|25|2013-01-22|200 PA|23|2013-01-27|156 PA|23|2013-01-27|014

I am debugging a android framework. I pull out dropbox logs from device and it's created in /data/system/dropbox. Log file name is printed like this format.

event_data@1362451303699

1362451303699 is timestamp and i want to change it like 05/03/2013 16:00 for legibility.

How can i convert this timestamp? Is there any code needs to be changed?

Any help will be much appreciated.

From this answer I have reduced a log file to this:

Timestamp:1359021601 2013-01-17 15:00:01 size: 10G /mnt/SolrFiles/solr/api/ Timestamp:1359025201 2013-01-17 16:00:01 size: 11G /mnt/SolrFiles/solr/api/ ...snip hundreds of lines... Timestamp:1359021601 2013-01-24 10:00:01 size: 11G /mnt/SolrFiles/solr/api/ Timestamp:1359025201 2013-01-24 11:00:01 size: 11G /mnt/SolrFiles/solr/api/ Timest

I need to write to a file and then get the last_modified date and update a table.

How would I do the following:

echo 'new file' > /tmp/file.txt stat /tmp/file.txt 16777218 16641883 -rw-r--r-- 1 david wheel 0 6 "Feb 19 16:48:21 2013" "Feb 19 16:48:21 2013" "Feb 19 16:48:21 2013" "Feb 19 16:48:21 2013" 4096 8 0 hello.txt

How would I get the last_modified time in the format of "YYYY-MM-DD HH

I have two files and i want to arrange rows of 2nd file in the same order of rows in 1st file. where column no 2 and 5 of 2nd files have same values as 1st file only the difference is their order is different. considering that complete rows should rearrange not only 2nd and 3rd columns .

I have a shell script that runs on Linux and uses this call to get yesterday's date in YYYY-MM-DD format:

date -d "1 day ago" '+%Y-%m-%d'

It works most of the time, but when the script ran yesterday morning at 2013-03-11 0:35 CDT it returned "2013-03-09" instead of "2013-03-10".

Presumably daylight saving time (which started yesterday) is to blame.

Unable to change password 16 weeks 3 days ago

I need to change password of a non-root user on HPUX. Due to some local policy, it is not allowing me to do so. I need to keep same (previous) password, as that is application user. Can I bypass policy for this time, for this user somehow ?
