On windows turn on the auditing for the file you want to watch. Or go the whole hog and install Tripwire. Tripwire runs on both Windows and Unix systems. Worth a look at because they have some new stuff added which is quite nice. On Tue, 2002-07-23 at 18:22, Raghu Uppalli wrote: > On Tue, 2

At least under W2K, you can do an advanced search by created, modified, and accessed. It wont tell you who was the last to access it, but it'll show you the timestamp of access. Dunno about under linux..

under linux you can use the stat command to get the last access time by *ANY* user, however if the filesystem is mounted with the noatime flag this time will not be updated. On Tue, 2002-07-23 at 05:42, Mike wrote: > Hi there, > > I understand there is a way to tell when a file was last _read_ b
