The mv command does not change the mtime of the file, which is the default display. the filetimes: mtime, atime: can be reset to any time you want with the touch command.
sets filename's mtime to be Jan 1, 2007 at midnight.
The ctime is NOT a creation time, there is no such thing in unix. It is the time some of the files inode metadata - like ownership or protection mask -- were changed.
I want to loop through files in a directory but omit the file with the latest date in my list of files. How would I accomplish this?
