It would be even better if it came with a test to ensure correct functioning of the script, as far as portably possible. For example, it could test that three words are output, and that day and year are numeric. (As usual, I can write the test, but if you do it, then it will be done more quickly ;-) Cheers, Ralf > 2007-03-01 Eric Blake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > * lib/mdate-sh (ls_command): Use -n when available to avoid > problems with spaces in user/group names.
