modify chmod

2010-01-29 Thread jeff.liu
Hi Jim,

It looks the Modify chmod task has been in TODO list for a long time.

I have looked through the discussion thread referred to
http://bugs.debian.org/497514.

Does it make sense to make chmod do not change the inode's ctime
if the new permission bits is identical to the old as the default behavior?

I'd like to handle it if it is still a valid task and nobody is working
on for now.


Regards,
-Jeff

Hi 
I don't know whether this is a design intent or a bug.
When I tried to list recursively a specified file, ls only searched the current 
directory for the file, not recursively. For example,
ls -R myFile*
displays only files with myFile pattern residing in the current working 
directory but not those in the sub-directories. 
All I want to do is to look for files with certain pattern throughout all 
sub-directories and the paths those files are located. 
ls -R | grep myFile*
works great but it doesn't give me the path of those files.
Is there a easy way to do it? Thanks
Henry
