Execute the "touch" command recursively

If you want to update the access time of a set of files, you can use
touch *

However, if you want to touch files and directories recursively, the touch command does not have a built in option. Instead use this command to achieve the same result:

If XXX is the dir within which you want to touch recursively, execute the foll. (Give the full path to XXX as needed)

find XXX | xargs touch
