Hi, I've been tasked to create a bash shell script to compare directories and only list out the differences between the two directory. Does anyone have any ideas or pointers of how to go about this problem? deltatux |

Look into dircmp: http://www.computerhope.com/unix/udircmp.htm And diff if you want the diffrences between each file: http://www.computerhope.com/unix/udiff.htm |

Or, some more hints look into sort and uniq for old timer ways of attacking this one Cheers |
