Hello, I'm using touch V4.5.3 on Linux and it doesn't seem to update the modification time - or rather it updates it to 4-7s ago which won't work for me since I'm using it to touch a dummy object for make.
$ date;touch dummy;date;ls -lt Tue Jun 5 14:52:37 PDT 2007 Tue Jun 5 14:52:37 PDT 2007 total 552 ... -rw-r--r-- 1 tjones hardware 0 Jun 5 14:45 dummy ... I have worked around the problem by always doing 'touch -m' I couldn't find this in the archive and I can't tell if it is a duplicate of http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-fileutils/2001-01/msg00032.html ~Tom _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
