ctools

Not sure anymore if this should be done over the modification time, as in GAMMALIB no explicit reference should be made to ctools. We may do this using the ctools configuration script, looping over all files in PFILES and replacing them if the version in SYSPFILES is newer.

Problem: modification time is accessed in a shell on Unix using

stat -c "%Y" file.par

stat -f "%m" file.par

The following seems to work on all systems:

if test cssens.par -nt cspull.par
then
    echo "cssens.par newer" 
else
    echo "cspull.par newer" 
fi

The following seems to do the job:

local_pfiles=$HOME/pfiles
sys_pfiles=$GAMMALIB/syspfiles
for filename in $local_pfiles/*.par
do
  parfile=`basename $filename`
  sys_parfile=$sys_pfiles/$parfile
  if [ -e $sys_parfile ]
  then
    if test $sys_parfile -nt $filename
    then
      cp -f $sys_parfile $filename
    fi
  fi
done
