Hello,

is it possible that mtime of a file can be changed without also changing=20
ctime? Vice versa is easy, chmod or similar will do that. But if I change=20
mtime with touch, also ctime gets changed.
I ask because I'm about writing a little backup script and want to be sure =
to=20
capture every file on any imaginable modification when comparing only ctime!

Thanks,

=2DHarry
