Hi!

I want to do some housekeeping and wipe a bunch of folders of a drive 
that were not used in the past 24 hours. I get the current timestamp, 
subtract the seconds for a day, and then use fileatime of the folder to 
make a determination.
To my surprise, the fileatime appears to be always more recent than the 
timestamp from 24 hours ago, which means that none of the folders get 
whacked, although they are four of five days old.

Is it better to use filemtime? Or something totally different? The 
script will run exclusively against a file server running Windows, which 
probably makes a difference.

Any advice? I really don't want to track file access of my system in a 
database table or such.
