Gluing together what I have before then:-
Code:
find 1st-directory -type f -exec md5sum {} \; > /tmp/1st_list
find 2nd-directory -type f -exec md5sum {} \; > /tmp/2nd_list

grep -vFf /tmp/1st_list /tmp/2nd_list > /tmp/2nd_only_list
grep -vFf /tmp/2nd_list /tmp/1st_list > /tmp/1st_only_list

cut -f1 /tmp/1st_list > /tmp/1st_md5_only
cut -f1 /tmp/2nd_list > /tmp/2nd_md5_only

grep -vFf /tmp/1st_md5_only /tmp/2nd_list > /tmp/2nd_files_not_matched_md5
grep -vFf /tmp/2nd_md5_only /tmp/1st_list > /tmp/1st_files_not_matched_md5

This will generate a few interesting files. Alternately, you could try this:-
Code:
cd 1st-directory
find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \; > /tmp/md5file

cd 2nd-directory
md5sum -c /tmp/md5file

This will not pick up any new files in 2nd-directory, so you might need to run it both ways round.

Output should be one file at a time with a messages of:-
  • OK for matching files.
  • FAILED open or read for a missing file.
  • FAILED for a difference in the files.


Does this get you further on? Without the md5 tests, you might as well just be doing:-
Code:
cp *.TXT $RECIBIDOS
rm -f *.TXT


I hope that this helps,
Robin
