I suspect that E'rage isn't directly stat'ing the file; but simply calling some API function that has the end result of of stat'ing it. According to the developer release notes fs_usage is more substantially instrumented under 10.2 than it was in 10.1. > (Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now?) What they're actually doing by stat'ing that file is checking to see whether or not the local time zone has changed. So really it's "Are we still here? Are we still here?..." ;-) mikel -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
