It seems to be correct though - executing the file apparently clobbers at least its ctime and mtime: Stat of object file built just before the executable: file=obj/dkcksum.o type=regular mode= ---rw-r--r-- size=4132 links=1 blksize=8192 blocks=10 user=15 group=0 unit=4/7 inode=114042 atime=Sun Nov 10 21:03:00 1996 ctime=Sun Nov 10 21:03:00 1996 mtime=Sun Nov 10 21:03:00 1996 Stat of executable: file=obj/disklabel type=regular mode= ---rwxr-xr-x size=54058 links=1 blksize=8192 blocks=106 user=15 group=0 unit=4/7 inode=114043 atime=Sun Nov 10 21:03:49 1996 <- changed OK when the file was execed ctime=Sun Nov 10 21:04:14 1996 <- changed !OK after file was execed mtime=Sun Nov 10 21:04:14 1996 <- changed !OK Bruce
