Newbie help needed for comparing values
Being linux administrator my task is to keep the machines up and running .Everyday i get a report of list of machines that are up and running.
it would be nice if i get list of machines that are shutdown in comparison to yesterdays report.
for example.If there are 5 machines in my environment
Namely A,B,C,D and E respectively.
Yest report (Running Machines)
Machine A
Machine B
Machine C
Todays Report (Running Machines) .
Machine D
Machine A

I would like to see The Difference between above two cases.
For example
Machine B,C should be reported to derive at conclusion that Machine B and C are shutdown .
How would i include this logic in script?

I m working on diff till now i m able to generate this.
How would i avoid listing unnecessary characters like ">" ,"0a1" ,"2,3d2".
Also MachineD is not needed how would i avoid this?


Code:
# diff -s list1 list2
0a1
> MachineD
2,3d2
< MachineB
< MachineC

lispmtopgm

lispmtopgm(1)						      General Commands Manual						     lispmtopgm(1)

NAME

       lispmtopgm - convert a Lisp Machine bitmap file into pgm format

SYNOPSIS

       lispmtopgm [lispmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a Lisp Machine bitmap as input.  Produces a portable graymap as output.

       This is the file format written by the tv:write-bit-array-file function on TI Explorer and Symbolics lisp machines.

       Multi-plane  bitmaps  on  lisp  machines  are color; but the lispm image file format does not include a color map, so we must treat it as a
       graymap instead.  This is unfortunate.

SEE ALSO

       pgmtolispm(1), pgm(5)

BUGS

       The Lispm bitmap file format is a bit quirky;  Usually the image in the file has its width rounded up to the next higher  multiple  of  32,
       but  not always.  If the width is not a multiple of 32, we don't deal with it properly, but because of the Lispm microcode, such arrays are
       probably not image data anyway.

       Also, the lispm code for saving bitmaps has a bug, in that if you are writing a bitmap which is not mod32 across, the file may be up  to  7
       bits too short!	They round down instead of up, and we don't handle this bug gracefully.

       No color.
