ls -ld /path/to/dir
in a script you could
ls -ld /path/to/dir | awk '{print 3}'
there are probably lots of other ways as well

hi
I am looking for a way to know the owner of a directory/file. There is the obvious way of parsing the output of ls, but did not find much beyond that.
Is there a better way (that works inside of a shell script)?
thanks,
