by Dear Netters:
Is there a way to change the utime of a file without changing ctime and
mtime? When I use "touch", all the [ucm]time are changed. The reason I am
doing this is because I want to know if a file has been accessed after some
time. and these files are not own by me. and I only have read permission on
these files.
At first I tried
cat foo > /dev/null
But the utime didn't change, then I used
cat foo
Then it worked fine. but it seems a little silly to let the content of
the files overwhelme the terminal, especially when the file is large and not
ascii.
Can someone enlighten me on this?
Thanks a lot in advance!
