Hi Jari, My preference is to avoid adding the --verbose option to programs like touch. Here is some explanation for why I have seriously considered taking the relatively drastic step of removing that option from the ch??? commands that currently accept it (chmod, chown, chgrp): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2010-08/msg00042.html The case for touch is not quite the same, but the above shows where my bias originates.
