I hope you don't consider this question too stupid. I did read the FAQ and look through the archives (and I must say that you guys have the patience of Job).
I have always used the full-time option with ls (just because I like it that way). I have it aliased in my login scripts. I had my first encounter with Mandrake 8.2 recently (i386 of course), which I think uses fileutils 4.1.6. The --full-time option now uses full-iso. I like the fact that I get a completely numeric time stamp, but it shows NINE digits to the right of the decimal point for seconds (down to the billionth of a second). I don't think I would find that too useful even if Linux did have that level of precision (it only stores times to the second, I believe). Also, I could do without the zone offset. I read the man page that (sort of) explained the change. I tried for a while to come up with something I would like better (I want all files to show the stamp to the second, and would consider the full-iso format with truncation to the second absolutely ideal) by trying the other options for --time-style, but to no avail. I even tried changing the LC_TIME locale variable to ru_RU, but I still got the traditional format (a three letter abbreviation for the month in English). Any suggestions? Thank you for your help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
