Subject: Re: Redirecting output from running proc doesn't modify the "last modified time" field for target file
Date: Fri, 02 Dec 2011 20:23:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ED93389.7070209@cs.umass.edu> (raw)

In my experience such metadata tends to be
updated when the file is closed, but not
necessarily before that time. This may
be different from Unix, but (as mentioned)
is probably not something cygwin can "fix".

Best wishes -- Eliot Moss
