NAME

       ftpwatch - Notifies you of changes on remote ftp servers

SYNOPSIS

       ftpwatch

DESCRIPTION

       ftpwatch is a program intended to be run as a cron job. Every user who wants to use it should install it into his crontab file. That is add
       something like:

	   47 5    * * 7 /usr/bin/ftpwatch

       The user should then create a .ftpwatchrc file. If one is found the specifed files and directories in that file	will  be  dired,  and  the
       result  is  stored as separate files in a .ftpwatch directory i the home directory.  diff(1) is invoked to find any changes since last run.
       If any are found, the output of diff is mailed to the user.

OPTIONS

       -d<opt> passes the options in <opt> to diff when invoked to generate the change-repport sent to the user.

       -p run ftp in passive mode

CONFIGURATION FILES

       Each user can place a .ftpwatchrc file in there home directories, listing the files or directories they are intrested  in.  The	format	is
       simpel. Each line of the file is of the following type:

	   <Host>:<File>

       Where  <Host> is the hostname of the ftp server and <File> is the file or directory to watch. If you instead want to watch an entire direc-
       tory structure recoursly you can add an R to the config line of the dir whoes subdirs you are intresed in, like this:

	   <Host>:R:<File>

NAME

       diff - print differences between two files

SYNOPSIS

       diff   [-c | -e | -C n] [-br]file1 file2

OPTIONS

       -C n   Produce output that contains n lines of context

       -b     Ignore white space when comparing

       -c     Produce output that contains three lines of context

       -e     Produce an ed-script to convert file1 into file2

       -r     Apply diff recursively to files and directories of

EXAMPLES

       diff file1 file2    # Print differences between 2 files

       diff -C 0 file1 file2
			   # Same as above

       diff -C 3 file1 file2
			   # Output three lines of context with every

       diff -c file1 file2 # Same

       diff /etc /dev	   # Compares recursively the directories /etc and /dev

       diff passwd /etc    # Compares ./passwd to /etc/passwd

DESCRIPTION

       the same name, when file1 and file2 are both directories" difference encountered"

       Diff  compares  two files and generates a list of lines telling how the two files differ.  Lines may not be longer than 128 characters.	If
       the two	arguments on the command line are both directories, diff recursively steps through all subdirectories comparing files of the  same
       name.  If  a  file  name is found only in one directory, a diagnostic message is written to stdout. A file that is of either block special,
       character special or FIFO special type, cannot be compared to any other file.  On the other hand, if there is one directory  and  one  file
       given on the command line, diff tries to compare the file with the same name as file in the directory directory.
