With a find command, I can display directories names with multiple levels. The following command display all directories under /var path with a depth of 2:
find /var -maxdepth 2 -type d;
The result shows:
/var /var/log /var/log/sssd /var/log/samba /var/log/audit /var/log/ConsoleKit /var/log/gdm /var/log/sa
With a stat command, I can find the modified date time:
stat /var/log/samba | grep 'Modify:'
The result is:
Modify: 2014-01-02 11:21:27.762346214 -0800
Is there a way to combine the two commands so that directories will be listed with modified date time?

Answer
You could use the -exec switch for find and define the output format of stat using the -c switch as follows:
find /var -maxdepth 2 -type d -exec stat -c "%n %y" {} ;
This should give the filename followed by its modification time on the same line of the output.
