[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42242] Octave does not always execute most recently saved file in an NFS directory

[Jan]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #42242 (project octave):

> Good to check local and remote times, of course, too.

Good point, server and client time are not in sync. This might cause the
problem:

 * Before editing:

>> mytime = time
mytime =  1399299413.65183
>> info = stat ("skript_clustering.m")
info =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    dev =  23
    ino =  98435089
    mode =  33204
    modestr = -rw-rw-r--
    nlink =  1
    uid =  1001
    gid =  1001
    rdev = 0
    size =  2775
    atime =  1399299360
    mtime =  1399299359
    ctime =  1399299359
    blksize =  1048576
    blocks =  8

 * editing file, octave still executs the previous version

 * After editing
>> info = stat ("skript_clustering.m")
info =

  scalar structure containing the fields:

    dev =  23
    ino =  98435089
    mode =  33204
    modestr = -rw-rw-r--
    nlink =  1
    uid =  1001
    gid =  1001
    rdev = 0
    size =  2775
    atime =  1399299360
    mtime =  1399299373
    ctime =  1399299373
    blksize =  1048576
    blocks =  8

>> mytime = time
mytime =  1399299431.89589


Now I have synchronised the system times of server and client and the problem
seems to be solved. 

Thanks a lot for your help!
