Permission Comparision

yanis · #1 02-16-2012

Hi,

I need to know how to compare the permissions of files which are in two different directories in Unix..

Experts - can any one help on this..!!!

This is very vague. Do the files in the different directories have all the same names?

If so, this finds differences in permissions :

Code:

ls -l /path/to/dir1 > file1
ls -l /path/to/dir2 > file2
awk ' FILENAME=="file1" {arr[$(NF)]=$1}
        FILENAME=="file2"  { print  $(NF),  (arr[$(NF)] == $1)? "matches": "no match"}
