Hello,
I think, exigrep should sort it's output by the time of the records
(time completed? time first notice?)… While thinking about this I've
added just a small change to have exigrep at least sort the filenames
by the modification dates of the files.
--- /usr/sbin/exigrep 2008-09-30 20:57:42.000000000 +0200
+++ /tmp/exigrep 2010-06-09 00:02:04.000000000 +0200

if (@ARGV)
{
- foreach (@ARGV)
+ foreach (sort { -M $b <=> -M $a } @ARGV)
{
my $filename = $_;
if ($filename =~ /\.(?:gz)$/o)
If there are no objections I'd like to ask having this change in one of
the next exim releases.
(I know, I could have sorted the files on the command line already…)
Thank you.
Best regards from Dresden/Germany
