Hi all I was writing a script yesterday, and I wanted to have a test to compare the modification time of two files. test(1) doesn't have the ability to do this. In the end I worked around this by using make(1), but it set me thinking - wouldn't it be a good idea to add some new tests to test(1), to compare files based on criteria like size or modification date? Anyone else think this is a good idea? -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Cequrux Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065/6/7 Firewalls/Virtual Private Networks Fax: +27(21)24-3656 Data/Network Security Specialists WWW: http://www.cequrux.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
