In solaris a simple command "diff -r" would be suitable for your kind of requirement.
Try this out:
This will recursively search and compare both the directories as well as its files. It will also show the files which are only in dir1 or in dir2 which is what you want. Instead of taking the output of directory link in a file and comparing it - I would suggest if possible mount any one dir in another server and run the diff from there.
I wrote a simple program which will create a child process to execute a command and the output will be redirected to the file.
Please have a look at the following code ->
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
void execute(char **argv)

Hi there,
I'm puzzled. Compressing the same file (same name, same md5sum) at two different times will produce a different output. I mean the md5sum of the resulting .gz files are different.
Does it make any sens to any of you?
I'd like some explanations if you know what's going on.
Thanks... (4 Replies)

rmgdiff
RMGDIFF(1x)RMGDIFF(1x)NAME
rmgdiff - use almost any graphical file difference browser to recursively view the differences between two directories.
SYNOPSIS
rmgdiff [-b] [-d] [-g gui] [-n] dir1 dir2
DESCRIPTION
rmgdiff is an awk script that works in conjunction with almost any graphical file difference browser. It is known to work with mgdiff,
tkdiff, and xdiff.
Unless I am mistaken, most of the GUI difference viewers (except for emacs) do not have built-in support for recursing down two directo-
ries, but diff does. Based on diff's output, rmgdiff decides when to invoke the graphical difference viewer.
In addition, rmgdiff also collates diff's output. As soon as a new difference is encountered in a text file, rmgdiff will print to stan-
dard output the name of the file that both directories have in common. It will then start the GUI and block until the user exits. As more
text files with differences are found, the GUI will be started up again.
In the interim, rmgdiff will keep track of differences in binary (non-text) files. It organizes the binary files as executables, shared
libraries, static libraries, object files, and other. Only after all the text files have been displayed will rmgdiff report the binary
differences.
It also keeps track of files and directories that diff reports as being only in one directory or another. rmgdiff organizes these entries
by directory. Thus, files in one directory will be reported in one block, and files that are in the other directory will be reported in a
different block.
In addition to printing the name of the files that are different, rmgdiff defaults to printing the relevant portion of the output from the
file command. This has the unfortunate side-effect of slowing things down; however, I find this information to be invaluable. If you're
just looking for a fast way to collate diff's output, try piping it into sort instead.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS -b Sets the basic reporting mode. In basic mode, rmgdiff reports only file names. It does not report the file types involved.
-c By default, files relating to CVS are ignored by rmgdiff. If you want to include CVS files, use this option.
-d Sets rmgdiff to print way too much debugging information.
-g gui Tells rmgdiff which gui you would like to use for viewing differences. By default, mgdiff is used. You can also set $RMGDIFF_GUI
in your environment, but it can be overridden with this option.
-n rmgdiff will not invoke the gui. This is useful, if you only want to view the collated output.
