Under what condition is the date of a directory (shown with ls -l) |
| 2 |
updated? Is it when the directory is created, or when a file somewhere |
| 3 |
below the directory is updated or some other time? I make weekly |
| 4 |
backups of the user accounts on my server box. Because space and CD |
| 5 |
media are in limited supply (at least for me) I write the backups to CD |
| 6 |
once a month. Full backups are made on Sunday and after a new Sunday's |
| 7 |
backup has been made I edit the previous Sunday's backup and delete all |
| 8 |
files that hadn't been changed recently when that backup (the one I'm |
| 9 |
editing) was made. This is a somewhat time-consuming method. I was |
| 10 |
just wondering if the directory date could give me a clue as to the date |
| 11 |
of the most recent file updated under that directory... |
