note sundialsvc4 <p> Probably the safest assumption is simply to assume that &ldquo;it <em>might.&rdquo;</em> &nbsp; Actual behavior can depend on the OS-type and, within Unix/Linux, exactly what filesystem is used and how that filesystem is configured. &nbsp; All of which is really beyond your control. &nbsp; So, don&rquo;t get upset if the mod-time of a directory changes, and, don&rsquo;t use mod-time as a sentinel to tell you whether or not you need to dumpster-dive into a particular directory. </p> 1017082 1017082
