Have you tried using the full pathname to ls?

Otherwise yeah - Harry's suggestions

Cheers!

Hello,
Directory:
\ECS\home\wesp\db\TIS-1
mostly hangs (not always) but interesting if I delete most files it works (maybe some german characters ??, ?? and - .

But under Nt&Samba&cygwin(ls -l) it works. So I think its a hpux implementationserrror.

Haven't tried ls -l pathname with simple exec. But good Ideea.

Have found lastModified() (dont know why I missed it) hope it works. Will test it totay.
