Check if files inside a text file are found under a directory
Hi all,

Please somebody help me with this:

I want to check if the files listed in a text file, are found under a directory or not.

For example: the file is list_of_files.txt, which contains inside this rows:

Code:
[root@localhost ~]# cat list_of_files
logs
errors
paths
debug
[root@localhost ~]#

I want to check if these 4 files, are found under directory, for example /tmp

If so, everything is OK, if not, print the files which are missing.

Thank you!
