Linux view file time accurate to seconds

When viewing files under Linux, ls –l defaults to no seconds:

Java code

-rw------- 1 root root 1463 Jul 25 2012 anaconda-ks.cfg

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11 Feb 22 14:38 demo

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 25 2012 Desktop

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36008 Jul 25 2012 install.log

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4939 Jul 25 2012 install.log .syslog

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 22 15:15 jms

-rw------- 1 root root 46033 Oct 29 10:00 mbox

To display seconds (actually more precise), use the –full-time parameter:

Java code

-rw------- 1 root root 1463 2012 -07-25 12:56:42.000000000 +0800 anaconda-ks.cfg

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11 2013-02-22 14:38:56.000000000 +0800 demo

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2012-07-25 21:17:04.000000000 +0800 Desktop

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36008 2012-07- 25 12:56:31.000000000 +0800 install.log

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4939 2012-07-25 12:53:11.000000000 +0800 install.log.syslog

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2013-02-22 15:15:24.000000000 +0800 jms

-rw------- 1 root root 46033 2012-10-29 10 :00:29.000000000 +0800 mbox

To display more information, use the stat command
