hi, as i use softupdate a lot , it would be nice to have a fcopy feature which reports if any files or file permissions were changed. Look at my script in BASE/50-ntp
#!/bin/sh fcopy -iM /etc/ntp.conf /etc/init.d/ntp-server stop ntpd -q -g hwclock --systohc /etc/init.d/ntp-server start I dont want to start and stop my ntp server on each softupdate, only on my first install or when /etc/ntp.conf changes it would be nice to have something like this: if [ `fcopy -iM /etc/ntp.conf` -gt "0" ] then /etc/init.d/ntp-server stop ntpd -q -g hwclock --systohc /etc/init.d/ntp-server start fi it would be nice to have an option like -n --number report number of files changed and let fcopy report the number of files changed i would like to write a patch for fcopy implementing this if it does make sense and would become part of fai. kind regards Janning -- PLANWERK 6 websolutions Venloer Straße 8, 40477 Düsseldorf Tel: (0211) 302666-0 Fax: (0211) 302666-10 http://www.planwerk6.de/
