next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
It appears that access times of a binary executable are not modified when executing it, whereas access time of a shell script is modified when the script is executed. Is there any way to enforce behavior similar to other OSs (Sun, AIX, HP-UX, ...) and have file access times modified when executing a binary?
