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

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #42242 (project octave):

Agree with all of the above suggestions, this is likely some kind of NFS
filesystem issue and not necessarily something that Octave is doing wrong.

Some more things you could try:


## Compare the atime, ctime, and mtime stamps before and after
## editing the script file with
format long
t = time
info = stat ("thescript.m")
## Confirm that Octave can read the new file content
type thescript


This might help point to whether it's that the updated saved file contents are
not being read or if it's simply that the file's timestamp is not being
updated or is skewed from the local clock.
