Hm. That just means that the file will change after being copied. In itself not a problem (Note that there are other, stronger concepts of busy. An open file for write can be opened for read/write by another process, can be deleted, yadda, yadda. It can be definitely copied. Less civilised operating systems lock files when opened for write, but not the Unixoids). cheers - -- tomás -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlkN1f4ACgkQBcgs9XrR2kZG5ACcCLASlzpysLzYvxA/VLSZfM8u w0cAmwW4hLprAR9DDeO0dUkA78JpA/OO =sRyK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
