Subject: Shell 'touch' command fails if touched file doesn't already exist
Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 16:43:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.20.1705121640230.14493@jmw-lm181> (raw)

I see that the shell 'touch' command doesn't create the specified file if 
it doesn't already exist. Is this by design? My experience with the 
'touch' command in other operating environments leads me to expect it to 
create the file if it doesn't already exist.

Regards,
Jeff
