See if you have the -t or --times option set - this preserves times from the source file to the destination. Unset that option.

Hi
I use "touch -t xxxxxxxx" command to set date/time stamp of a file. My requirement is to read the date/time stamp of a file and apply it to another file.
Is there anyway to do it simple instead of manually taking date/stamp of first file?

times
times(3UCB) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Library Functions times(3UCB)
NAME
times - get process times
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/cc [ flag ... ] file ...
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/times.h>
int times(tmsp)
register struct tms *tmsp;
DESCRIPTION
The times() function returns time-accounting information for the current process and for the terminated child processes of the current
process. All times are reported in clock ticks. The number of clock ticks per second is defined by the variable CLK_TCK, found in the
header <limits.h>.
A structure with the following members is returned by times():
time_t tms_utime; /* user time */
time_t tms_stime; /* system time */
time_t tms_cutime; /* user time, children */
time_t tms_cstime; /* system time, children */
The children's times are the sum of the children's process times and their children's times.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, times() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns -1.
SEE ALSO
cc(1B), time(1), time(2), getrusage(3C), wait(3C)
NOTES
Use of these interfaces should be restricted to only applications written on BSD platforms. Use of these interfaces with any of the system
libraries or in multi-threaded applications is unsupported.
The times() function has been superseded by getrusage(3C).
