This should do it
Code:
# !/bin/sh
toggle=0
field1=""
field2=""
lastfield1=""
lastfield2=""
exec < inputfile
exec > outputfile
while read line ; do
        echo $line > linetemp
        field1=`awk 'BEGIN {FS=","} {print $1}' linetemp`
        field2=`awk 'BEGIN {FS=","} {print $2}' linetemp`

        if [ $field1 != $lastfield1 -o $field2 != $lastfield2 ]
        then
                lastfield1=$field1
                lastfield2=$field2
                toggle=0
        fi

        if [ $toggle -eq 0 ]
        then
                echo $line
                toggle=1
        fi
done
rm linetemp

Sorry about the indenting if it's messed up, I haven't quite figured out how to keep it when I paste into this.

Moderator's note: I took the liberty of adding the code tag to fix the indenting. - Perderabo
