Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I am trying to write a shell script that will give the comparision between two server

for example:

Server 1 : /a/b/c
Server 2: /a/b/c

First login to Server1 and check the dir sturcture and then login to Server2 and get the dir stucuture and then compare...and if there is difference need to send a mail.

Try one of the following
but I do recommeond either ssh way or rsync way
1- rsync way

Code:

$ rsync -avnc --delete /a/b/c/  server2:/a/b/c/

2-remote mount way
Also try something like this if you can mount the remote directory from the sever2 :
you could mount the two directories in such a way that you could do something like:

Code:

$ diff -q /a/b/c /pathtobemounted |sort

perhaps you can try ssh mount using sshFS.

3- ssh way

Code:

$ ssh Server1 "tree -s -f /a/b/c " > /tmp/out1 && ssh Server2 "tree -s -f /a/b/c " > /tmp/out2 && diff /tmp/out1 /tmp/out2
