System terminating diff command before job completed
I'm running diff at the command prompt against two very large text files (>1GB) and system kills the process and replys back "Terminated" after 15 seconds.

I believe a system parameter needs to be adjusted but can't figure it out.

I'm running Red Hat 4.1.2-46, 2.6.18-028stab089.1

Thanks in advance.
-Pete

Old 05-29-2011
diff day1.txt day2.txt

15 seconds later systems responds:

Terminated

maybe you can try line to line compare with -a option
or try `comm` or `bdiff` or `shell script` or different kernel (>2.6.23) or split files..

day1.txt must has more or equal lines as day2.txt
Code:
awk '{X=$0;getline Y< "day2.txt" ; if (X!=Y) {print NR; print "<" FS X;print ">" FS Y} }' day1.txt
