And now comes the moment to reveal the little trick I was talking about. Even though the standard /bin/ls command won't show you the future timestamps, you can still check them using the /usr/ucb/ls version of the ls command. The syntax is very similar, but you can also see the future timestamps:
solaris$ /usr/ucb/ls -al *myserver1*
-rw-r--r-- 1 bbuser 48 Jan 9 10:59 np_greys@solaris-server.com_myserver1.conn
-rw-r--r-- 1 bbuser 50 Jan 9 10:41 np_greys@solaris-server.com_myserver1.cpu
-rw-r--r-- 1 bbuser 51 Jan 9 10:41 np_greys@solaris-server.com_myserver1.disk
-rw-r--r-- 1 bbuser 53 Jan 9 10:36 np_greys@solaris-server.com_myserver1.memory
-rw-r--r-- 1 bbuser 51 Jan 9 10:41 np_greys@solaris-server.com_myserver1.msgs
-rw-r--r-- 1 bbuser 52 Jan 9 11:16 np_greys@solaris-server.com_myserver1.procs
Looking at them, you can see that BigBrother simply set the modification time for these files to be 45min into the future.
That's it for today – hope you liked this trick!
