I have no problems with mtime not getting set when new files are created (e.g. "echo > test.txt"), only when appending to existing files (e.g. "echo >> test.txt"). The only other difference I can think of is that the file was zero-byte in size in your first test. I've never tried this with empty files. -- Josef Drexler | http://jdrexler.com/home/ ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Please help Conserve Gravity | Email address is *valid*.
