| Sep 18, 2020 at 16:30 | comment | added | Paul_Pedant | @NordineLotfi The script got left on a client site long ago, and would probably have been careless on filenames with spaces etc. I still use the manual sequence: ls -ltr to check for next version, diff to check for unwanted debug, cp -p to record time of last update, chmod 400 to prevent execution. I started a better version, but requirements creep has got me: multi-file, cksum for changes, too many options, etc. | |
