Hi,
This is funny. I used the same test as Josef Drexler but on Windows ME after upgrading to cygwin 1.5.14. Of course the filesystem is also FAT (FAT32 in my case).
First I tried it from a DOS window:
C:\Download\test>touch test.txt C:\Download\test>ls -l test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 0 Apr 3 23:16 test.txt C:\Download\test>ls -l --time=ctime test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 0 Apr 3 23:16 test.txt C:\Download\test>echo > test.txt C:\Download\test>ls -l test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 12 Apr 3 23:18 test.txt C:\Download\test>ls -l --time=ctime test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 12 Apr 3 23:16 test.txt
I believe this is exactly what Josef saw with bash. But then, after 2 minutes, I start bash and try again:
C:\Download\test>bash BASH-2.05b$ echo > test.txt BASH-2.05b$ ls -l test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 2 Apr 3 23:20 test.txt BASH-2.05b$ ls -l --time=ctime test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 piskozub mkgroup 2 Apr 3 23:20 test.txt
Can you explain this?
Regards,
Jacek
