Thanks a lot Don, I really appreciate it. I am going to execute it and let you know.

---------- Post updated at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous update was at 10:47 AM ----------

Hi Don,

When I execute the script, it does not compare given file with others in the path. It gives me following output
Code:
Usage: cmp [-l | -s] File1 File2
rm /Dir1/o34620760.out

Thanks
