Hi Everyone, I writing this program to check if a file is being touched (linux "touch" command) every 25 seconds.I am using stat command on linux.
For example(please check the bold), stat file File: `file' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 164394 Links: 1 Access: (0666/-rw-rw-rw-) Uid: ( 0/ admin) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2010-03-16 12:09:03.000000000 -0700 Modify: 2010-03-16 12:09:03.000000000 -0700 Change: *2010-03-16 *12:09:03.000000000 -0700 <= After 25 seconds: [ad...@machine ~]# stat file File: `file' Size: 0 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular empty file Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 164394 Links: 1 Access: (0666/-rw-rw-rw-) Uid: ( 0/ admin) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2010-03-16 12:09:28.000000000 -0700 Modify: 2010-03-16 12:09:28.000000000 -0700 Change: *2010-03-16* 12:09:28.000000000 -0700 <= I am just worried about the change attribute above from stat command. So , what i am trying to do convert 12:09:03(as in the example above) into seconds and add 25 seconds and convert back into "hour:minutes:seconds" format and check the values match. Hope it is clear. Thanks for the help in advance, -Ben
