Difference of changes that happened during a session?

[istinnjazz]

Is there a way to determine the difference of changes that have happened during a session using a savefile?
I mean a new mount device that can show only the differences after the current boot, excluding save-file contents. Just for informative reasons, exactly only those files that will be added to the savefile during a session shutdown.

Maybe changes-time script could help in some way.

Fanthom knows more about the changes-time command which is located in /opt/porteus-script:

changes-time' script to catch latest updates to the filesystem

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# changes-time
Use this script save Porteus changes made in definied time period.
Enter time interval or press enter for keeping default value (3 minutes):

Thanks for your advices. All those methods can be used.

Code: Select all

find /mnt/live/memory/changes -iname "*" -mmin -10

and

Code: Select all

changes-time
10

a good option could also be the the use of the "uptime" or "w" command,
in order use the time from the beginning of the session if you want

Code: Select all

# uptime
17:46:23 up 10 min,  0 users,  load average: 0.14, 0.16, 0.09

Code: Select all

# w
 17:48:46 up 12 min,  0 users,  load average: 0.65, 0.39, 0.19
USER     TTY        LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
