Re^4: grab newest file

Comparing mtime (timestamp) and -M is bogus. -M gives you the script start time minus file modification time, in days.

update - oops, sometimes I'm a lousy reader - the referred post compares only -M against -M. Read the above just as a general statement ;-)

The code I posted is only comparing the -M value with other -M values. The $mtime in the code is just a variable name.	[reply]
