How to see future file timestamps in Solaris
I know I’ve spoken about timestamps already, but I’d like to further expand the topic.
While there’s a great GNU stat command in Linux systems, there’s no such thing in Solaris by default, and so you usually depend on ls command with various options to look at file’s creation, modification or access time.
The standard /bin/ls command in Solaris doesn’t always show you the full timpestamp, usually if it’s about a time too far in the past or a bit into the future – so today I’m going to show you a trick to work around it and still confirm such timestamps for any file.
