Re: [U2] Logging program execution in Unidata?

I believe there is something wrong with this suggestions.
IIRC you don't get the time and date it was last RUN, only the date it was last "Accessed".
I suspect this is the "touch" date, which could mean that just looking at it in a directory scan, "touches" it.
Along with a host of other things that don't actually *run* the code.

So it wouldn't answer the Q as to whether it's "actively" executed.

You also get the number of times is has run since being catalogued, which always seemed to be an odd choice for me.
It may have been run a thousand times, but not run at all in the past ten years.
But if I ruled the world, things would be different.
Not better just different.

Anyway, let us know how it works for your purpose.

Larry/Wol, thanks for this.  Trying it now on a dev server.  Not sure how I've 
missed this all these years, but glad to learn something new!
