how to compare all files in one unix box has been to copied to another unix box
Hi

our unix admin has copied all files from one unix box to new unix box. We just need to confirm that all the file systems are copied properly. How to validate.

this is maybe more a scripting thing... you can build checksums of all files on both machines and compare them...

thread moved from solaris to scripting.

Simplest way I can think of is "rsync -n"

Reborg thanks for your reply.

i dont have rsync installed on the box.

Hey duke

I am not good at scripting. Could you please let me know how to do check sums. Do you mean do a files count?

Thanks
Sravan

Dry run but it amounts to the same, ie. list the files that would have been copied to bring the two into sync. If the there are no files the systems are in sync.

You can get rsync from Sunfreeware - Freeware Open Source Software for Sun Microsystem's Solaris if you are able to install additional software, from memory you will also need popt and libgcc and depending on the version you may also need libiconv and libintl.
