Ok...based on the several responses I've already received I can tell
how off base I was in forming my original question. Let me try again.
Basic question: how to determine if a file has been read-accessed
within a certain period of time.
Overall goal: I have lots of pop email accounts setup and some people
have not read their email in months. I want to better manage these
accounts and thought by looking at the last-read date I could tell who
was reading their mail and who was not. I guess a better way of
looking at this problem would be: Are there any email account
management routines/scripts/shareware/whatever which would not only
tell me of inactive accounts but would do such things as cleanup &
archive unread messages older than say 30 days, etc.?
And Duh...in my original posting I was in error looking at the ls -l
output rather than the ls -ul output (last modification -v- last
access time.) Fingers get too fast and the brain disengages. Sorry for
the confusion on my part.
