I want to create a batch file that executes a command (delete the file, for a simple example, though my command is custom/different) on each file matching a wildcard (say *.jpg) that was modified since some date (such as 1-1-2010 or later). The date can either be hardcoded in the batch file or passed as a command line param. Pseudocode...
I've got a site with a basic login/logout system. When I display pages I do a check to see when the page was last modified and if the browser has sent an if modified since header.

Usually this works well however I've found that as copying a file...
What is the most efficient way to detect modification to a file in Java? I've read about file polling however, the polling approach has a number of drawbacks that become apparent as the number of watched files increases. I rather not use polling but a number of solutions online appear to point to file polling as the recommended method. ...
Did you know you can prevent the revalidation of files in browser cache and subsequent 304 response by completely removing both the ETag and Last-Modifed response headers? Of course, this is easy in Apache, but as clear as mud in IIS 6. Does anyone know how to remove both of these headers in IIS? ...
Is there a way to know when the last write operation has occurred in a live SQL Server 2005 database? I currently have 30 (and growing) databases on my server. Only some of these see daily activity (but which ones get daily activity varies over time.) My backup space is limited and I'd like to do a daily backup of all "modified since la...
