How to find out when a folder or a file has been renamed?

I need to find out when a folder and some files have been renamed.
This happened when Mac OS X was 10.6 (Leopard Snow), now the Max OS X is Lion.
I use standard HFS+ filesystem format.
In Lion apparently there is a file property "Date Added" that change if a file is renamed, but the same property seems to be unused (e.g. -/-) before Lion.
I have Time Machine backups that help me to know that rename happened within a certain week, but I was looking for something more accurate (at least day accuracy).
If file system metadata can't help, I'm wondering if there is some log that track the first time spotlight indexed a specific file.
Thank you
/Andrea

Maybe you could keep tabs of the file size. If the file size grows (which it will do each time the writing process flushes that files output buffer), then the file was written to.
What I'd like to know is if there is some way to monitor the entire drive for changes and respond to stuff like that. I know that the Win32 API provides services that monitor the file system for changes, but I don't know if other OS's do... or if Java provides an interface to those features.

  • How to find out when was local administrators group changed

    Hi
    Is there any way how to find out when was user added to local administrators group on server(2003 to 2012) ?

    Hi,
    If you have auditing enabled for "Audit account management" and your security logs are not overwritten then you can look for a 4732 or 636 (Windows 2003) event ids.

  • How to find out when XI Server was Re-started Last ?

    Dear Experts,
            Can anybody tell me How to find out when was the last time XI server was Re-started. ? I want to know both ABAP as well as Java instance. without taking the help of basis.
             Any T-code or Log which can give me this info.
    Regards,
    Umesh

    Hi Umesh,
    This can be one idea to check for last restart of server.
    Goto Tcode sm21 and filter by date range and press the tab Reread system log if you see a continuous yellow triangle in Priorty column and the text details are like Stop WorkprocXX, PID XXXX that means the server was down at that time.
    and if again you see the continuous green lights with the text like Start WorkprocXX, Pid XXXX
    The time corresponding to these messages gives the time and date of the last restart of the XI server.
    Thanks!

  • How to find out when a file has been written to ?

    Hello All,
    In an application I want to open up a file (while letting another process write to it). As stuff is getting written to the file I want to be able to process that data (getting close to real-time as possible). How would one go about finding out when new data has been written to the file ? Does Java provide some alerting mechanism for file changes ? Thanks in advance...
    -Pete

    Maybe you could keep tabs of the file size. If the file size grows (which it will do each time the writing process flushes that files output buffer), then the file was written to.

  • How to find out when dcpromo was run on a server?

    Is there an event ID or something that gets logged that shows when dcpromo was run on a server? I am trying to figure out when a server was promoted to a domain controller.
    Thanks

    multiple ways to find out when DCPROMO was executed......
    * Check the DCPROMO.LOG in C:\Windows\Debug
    * Check the creation dates of the folder for the NTDS.DIT file and the SYSVOL
    * Check the creation of the computer account, the NTDS Settings object (all in AD)
    this should give you an idea of when DCPROMO was executed

  • How to find out when last rman backup was made in 9i

    Hello,
    i have an oracle 9i database running on windows here. Is there a way to find out when the last rman backup was done with a sql query?
    I would like to create a job inside the database that regulary checks if a rman backup ran sucessfully instead of using scripts in the operating system.
    But i only know about commands in the rman utility (that i can not execute as a job, right?) - is something similar possible with for example sqlplus?

  • How to find out when a table was last updated?

    Is there a way to find out when a table was last updated/inserted/deleted? Thanks!

    There may be an easier way but if you are trying to get info on something that has already happened look at your redo logs and archived logs. It would be hard but in V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS you could find the max time for a given object. Note to use this you need to set up log miner. Since you did not give a version try the Oracle 9i DBA Guide pg 9-1.
