Script for Comparing directories and file from a text file
Hello all,
I need to write a script which has following requirement:

Need to read the filenames from text file and then search for the above read files in the required directory and if match found backup them in a backup folder.
And also need to compare and verify whether the files in the two directories are same.
(need to verify time stamps and files sizes too.)

The text file is like below :

Code:
 
while read f x
 do
  if [ ! -f $f ]
   then
    echo No $f
    continue
   fi
  if [ "$(cmp $f backup_place 2>&1)" = "" ]
   then
    echo Already same: $f
    continue
   fi
  cp -p $f backup_place/$f
  if [ $? = 0 ]
   then
    echo Backed up: $f
   else
    echo FATAL Backup error: $f
    exit 1
   fi
 done < list

Instructions for Message Broker File files:
1. Ensure all Brokers are stopped, using mqsistop, on the machine that the fix is being applied to.
2. Backup the above files under the Message Broker's installation directory ensuring that you change their extensions or move them to a backup directory. For example, change .lil files to .lil_bak or .lil_fp99 and jar files to .jar_bak or .jar_fp99.
3. Copy the above libraries to the correct directories under the Message Broker's installation directory.
4. Ensure the owner/group details of the new files match those of the existing files. (chown)
5. Ensure the permissions of new files match those of the existing files. (chmod)
6. Use mqsistart to restart the Broker components.


-------------------
END of the file:

Need to read the filenames from this text file located at
/lpiwmbdev6/stage/APAR/IC89508/readmes/8.0.0.1-WS-MB-LinuxX64-TFIC89508-README.txt

Then search for the above read files in the directory /opt/ibm/mqsi/8.0 and if match found backup them in a folder
/lpiwmbdev6/stage/APAR/IC89508/backup.




After applying APAR need to verify whether the files in the two directories are same
/lpiwmbdev6/stage/APAR/IC89508/* is equal to the copied files in /opt/ibm/mqsi/8.0
(need to verify time stamps and files sizes here).
Please help.

Does the search just compare name or content, too?
# 5  
Old 02-27-2013
It should compare the content, size and permission of all files and directories.
Please let me know if you have any further question.
# 6  
Old 02-27-2013
cksum is a nice way to detect different content. It prints size. ls and when available find -ls print permissions. It seems like some combination would do it. Do you care about directory size in bytes, or just new entries?

Sorry for late reply,

Just new entries will be fine.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
