reverse of touch command
If touch command sets the modification and access times of files to the current time of day, is there a command that could do the reverse of this? Say change the access times of files to an earlier time or date?
Say I have this file:
HOME> ls -l
-rw-rw-r-- 1 orbix orbix 886 May 25 2007 temp1.sh
-rw-rw-r-- 1 orbix orbix 886 Nov 28 04:45 temp2.sh
change to:
HOME> ls -l
-rw-rw-r-- 1 orbix orbix 886 Jan 17 2005 temp1.sh
-rw-rw-r-- 1 orbix orbix 886 Jun 13 16:28 temp2.sh
