Having the same problem of inconsistent output from "ls" (and other Unix
commands!), I grabbed "els" from http://www.sourceforge.net. I use "els -p
+Gmsn +TMDY3", aliased of course, to produce consistent listings everytime.
For an "ls -l" equivalent, I use "els -l +TMDY3".
HTH! GL! :)

This will make Jared happy, I finally broke down and fumbled my way through
some perl.
function f_file_date {
{
print "#!/usr/bin/perl"
print "print scalar(localtime((stat(\"${1}\"))[9]))"
} > tmp.pl
perl tmp.pl
rm tmp.pl
}
This little diddy can be placed right in my .ksh script to get file
modification times in a consistent format, I wanted to use "ls -l" but then
it occurred to me that once the year changes the "ls -l" returns a different
formatted date entry for files modified during the last year. Maybe someone
can suggest a prettier method of doing this within a .ksh script without
calling another script.
