Hi Bruno, Thanks for doing that. I like the idea, but have a couple questions. Shouldn't it give a diagnostic and fail when the open from `time_from_inside' fails? At least when the failure is due e.g., to permission problems, like when trying to touch an unreadable file. $ ./touch --inside /etc/passwd And wouldn't it be better also to use O_NONBLOCK | O_NOCTTY, as for the other open call?
