Hello All, Is there a command to find the time & date of creation of a file in Linux. If i do a stat, i could get the file details. But i'm unable to get the time of creation of file.

Strictly speaking, no. 'ls -lc' will show you the 'ctime' of files, but that isn't actually the creation time. It's the time of last modification of file metadata, which could be the file's creation time, but it could also be the last time it was renamed, had its permissions changed, etc. » POSTED IN:
