GNU fileutils are all the little dumb programs you need to do housekeeping on Unix. Specifically: chgrp, chmod, chown, cp, dd, df, dir, dircolors, du, install, ln, ls, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mv, rm, rmdir, shred, sync, touch, and vdir. Not very glamorous or complex, but someone had to write 'em. On Mon, Jan 28, 2002 at 09:47:37AM -0800, Michael Elkins wrote: > You can't rely on the mtime to be accurate.

It seems to me that that limitation wouldn't matter in this case -- if you modify a message, it just means that its "days left until deletion" clock gets reset. Would that be a big problem, if one or two messages stuck around for a few extra weeks? You can always manually delete the special cases. Or could it somehow be possible for a message to be deleted -before- its time? -- Mike Schiraldi VeriSign Applied Research
