sync.pid created in the future?


Recommended Posts

Linux here. Just noticed sync.pid has an mtime of 6-May, but it's presently 2-May. Why is sync.pid created 4 days into the future?

I stopped btsync, removed sync.pid, restarted btsync, and it recreated the file still with mtime 6-May.

Odd, my pid file has the right date/time.

So is mine, laptop:-

automatic@automatic-G74Sx:~/.sync$ stat sync.pid
File: `sync.pid'
Size: 6 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file
Device: 801h/2049d Inode: 24642094 Links: 1

Server 1 (No idea why the access time is so long ago, server uptime is only 2 days, so, technically btsync was last started 2 days ago):-

root@Tower:/mnt/user/Appdata/bitTorrentSync# stat sync.pid

Due to issues with port forwarding, I can't supply a stat for my other server at this point in time (Using a temporary router, very poor support for port forwarding, hopefully replacing the hardware with a new router in ~ 2 weeks)

Sorry everyone, I was tired and/or being an idiot.
