If the answer is in the man pages, I can't find it. ls -cl is the closest there is. That reports the time the file status last changed. File status is changed by things like chmod, chown, and chgrp, which modify the inode rather than the file; but if no such commands have been applied to the file, the date shown should be the creation date. -- Doug Lee dgl@visi.com http://www.visi.com/~dgl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
