My particular issue is that I've come to expect that the editor I am primarily using, mcedit, acts right and changes the directory timestamp. Unfortunately, it apparently doesn't always do so (which is a whole new issue) since it acts one way on my home system and a completely different way on my work system (I've compared the ~/.mc/ini files on both systems, they are identical, so I don't think it is a config issue, but I'm still looking).
Interesting. Compare the mcedit versions (rpm -q mc) (mcedit --version)
I did, they are identical on both boxes. #mcedit --version GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.1-pre3 Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish, undelfs With builtin Editor Using system-installed S-Lang library with terminfo database With subshell support as default With support for background operations With mouse support on xterm and Linux console With support for X11 events With internationalization support With multiple codepages support Also tried diff'ing the various config files in /usr/share/mc and in ~/.mc and couldn't find anything different that seemed pertinent. On the 64 bit box, mcedit creates a softlink in the current directory for the file being edited, that apparently causes the directory timestamp to update. On the 32 bit box, no softlink is created and I have no idea at all why they act differently. I've resigned myself to simply doing a rccron restart.
