Question compare directories on two servers
We are migrating from one server to another. We have encountered problems during testing where some files are missed in the restore and/or permissions do not get restored correctly.
I have been manually checking these items in directories, but its a big system. And this is just the test phase. I don't want to spend hours doing this on the live migration schedule.
I would like to be able to compare like name directories between the two servers.
I have been writing a script to go to the directories and loop through down to file names to create list files, then comparing the list files. I am hoping maybe there is an easier way.
didnt know what to search for in the forums, because maybe its not ftp I really want to use. ?
We are using legatto restore to advfs file systems on digital unix 4.0D. Any thinking out of the box on this???

thanks!

savetextmode

savetextmode(1) 						Svgalib User Manual						   savetextmode(1)

NAME

       savetextmode, textmode - save or restore the complete SVGA status for textmode.

SYNOPSIS

       savetextmode
       textmode

DESCRIPTION

       These  are  simple  scripts  to	save  the  SVGA  register  state  when	in  textmode  to the files /etc/vga/fontdata and /etc/vga/textregs
       ($HOME/.vga/fontdata and $HOME/.vga/textregs if directory /etc/vga is not writeable) or to restore it from these files.

       The actual utilities used are restorefont(1), restoretextmode(1), and restorepalette(1).

       The purpose of these scripts program is usually to recover from a crashed console due to an svgalib, Xfree or other program bug.

       You do this by being a smart guy and running savetextmode right after booting of your machine, prior to any problems.  Then,  in  case  the
       SVGA  state  is hosed and you sit in front of a blank or useless console, change VC (maybe login) to get to a shell. Or exist the currently
       running program with <Ctrl>-C, <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Backspace>, or whatever applies. Once you got a shell, run textmode and it will hopefully ren-
       der your console useable again.

       To  make it clear: You do all this while not seeing anything on your console screen, you enter this information blindly or after logging in
       from a network. Also, if the keyboard is left in raw mode, nothing can really help you as you cannot enter  anything  which  a  shell  will
       understand.

FILES

       /etc/vga/fontdata or $HOME/.vga/fontdata
       /etc/vga/textregs or $HOME/.vga/textregs
