Hi,
I need to write a script to change a file's timestamp. I have this script mytmp:
#!/bin/sh
cd /tmp/test
touch t1
Then, if I run mytmp, file t1 is created with the current timestamp. How to
change its timestamp in the script after it is created to a specific date and
time? If I want to set the date and time as an argument, e.g. I change the
script as:
#!/bin/sh
newstmp=$1
cd /tmp/test
touch t1
and run it as
# mytmp "Tue Aug 22 08:30:00 CDT 2006"
What should be added in the script to change t1's timestamp to the argument
provided?
Thanks!
