(Sorry, I din't keep the original post, to which I want to answer) You can simply look at the second column in ls -l, which tells you how many names the file has. In your case, if it's >=2, then the entry is a hardlink to a former version. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/testln$ touch a [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/testln$ touch b [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/testln$ ln b c [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/testln$ ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 thibaut thibaut 0 2006-08-05 13:55 a -rw-r--r-- 2 thibaut thibaut 0 2006-08-05 13:55 b -rw-r--r-- 2 thibaut thibaut 0 2006-08-05 13:55 c In essence, to know what files are new, I would do something like ls -Rl | grep "1 thibaut thibaut".
