Thanks DGPickett. Am notsure what change needs to be done for the above script. I did tried them by changing head1 to oldfile path and head2 newfile path.

Could you please correct me.
Code:
diff -U0 <(
cd /usr/config_check/oldfiles/
find * -type f | sort ) <(
cd /usr/config_check/newfile/
find * -type f | sort ) | while read diff_ind cksum sz path
do
case "$diff_ind" in
(-)
echo "Deleted file '$path'."
;;
(+)
echo "New file '$path':"
cat head2/$path
;;
(*)
echo "Changed file '$path':"
sdiff /usr/config_check/oldfiles/$path /usr/config_check/newfile/$path
;;
esac
done

After running above script, i get this error
Code:
root@att02 # ./cfile.sh
Changed file '':
sdiff: Cannot open: /usr/config_check/oldfiles//newfile/
