update the timestamp of symbolic links
I'm not sure if my private messages to cdoyle and rcarnesiii are being sent. So after searching for how to update the timestamp of symbolic links (NOT the file the link points) I decided to try here for better solutions. I understand that the FreeBSD's touch supports a -h option to update links' timestamps. Will building the BSD source code for "touch" work for Solaris? Where is a trust worthy url to get this source code?
Thanks!
