This is not what the OP asked. But I wondered if one can determine if a file has been writen to or changed inside a directory by looking at a stat on the directory. File changes don't seem to be reflected in mtime, unless a new file is added or one taken away. Ditto for atime and ctime. So is stat not able to determine if a file has been written to by looking at the parent dir? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
