Hi all,
Can any of you tell me how to preserve the date on the new copy of a
file when you use the cp command in bash?
Kubuntu 8.04
I tried
cp -p tmp.txt tmp2.txt
cp -a tmp.txt tmp2.txt
cp --preserve=timestamps tmp.txt tmp2.txt
I tried cutting and pasting from the man page the --preserve= equivalent
of cp -p; cp --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps
I am at wits end. Do I have something set up wrong in my system?
Marieke
