COPYING FILES WITHOUT DESTROYING THE DATE AND TIME STAMP
- It's kind of bizarre, but when you copy files with the
'cp' command in FreeBSD, the 'modified' date and time are
bumped up to the current date and time. This is
really annoying if you depend on the information that the
modified time stamp gives you.
The workaround is simple: just add the '-p' (P)reserve
option whenever you use the 'cp' command, and it will
preserve the modified date and time, as well as all
the other file attributes and permissions:
cp -p /sourcedir/somefile.txt /targetdir/newname.txt
Be aware that the 'accessed' date will change, however
