Appending nothing is not a modification (on Linux). Try this: cat /dev/null >> imcc.flag mtime does not change. How about this? Its from perldoc -f utime: TOUCH = $(PERL) -e ${PQ}$now = time; utime $now, $now, @ARGV;${PQ} I don't know if it works reliable on Windows. bye boe -- Juergen Boemmels [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fachbereich Physik Tel: ++49-(0)631-205-2817 Universitaet Kaiserslautern Fax: ++49-(0)631-205-3906 PGP Key fingerprint = 9F 56 54 3D 45 C1 32 6F 23 F6 C7 2F 85 93 DD 47
