Hola Chris,
If you use `touch filename` instead of `vi filename` do you get the same
results? You can use `stat filename` to see what changes before and after using
the vi. I suspect `touch` will make the same change.
You can easily touch all 600 files with one command: `find
/path/to/moin/site/data/pages -type f -regex '.*/revisions/.* -exec touch {}
\;` You can replace "-exec touch {} \;" with "-ls" to get a list of all the
files that will be affected by the execution of the `touch` command. I do NOT
know what touching all these files will do to moin; can someone more familiar
with how moin works comment on that?
If you JUST want to touch the file listed as current, then the following
command will just touch that file:
for i in `ls /path/to/moin/site/data/pages`; do ls -l $i/revisions/`cat
$i/current`; done
But you will get errors for any files that don't have a revisions or current
dir/file. A more complicated shell script could avoid the errors.
You may already know about the touch command and automating it using find and
for, so please chalk it up to eagerness to be helpful. I am curious if using
touch does the same thing as your vi-save-quit steps, so please share the
results of that test.
