Details:
Before I call a function I create a lock file for that function and inside
the function I possibly create a tarball. In order to ensure the tarball is a
new one and not a left over I check to ensure it's newer than the lock file.
It doesn't seem to work consistently. I got around this problem by sleep'ing
for 5 seconds and switching to
newer from anewer. Was there a bug with this version of find ?
sleep 1 # to ensure there is atleast a difference of a second if the time
comparisons are done in seconds instead of milliseconds or finer.
/opt/freeware/bin/find . -name file.tar -anewer function_lock.txt
locate --version
GNU locate version 4.1
AIX 5.3
