Michel,
You might get better feedback if you were more specific about the sort
of response you're looking for. Are you asking if someone has such a
script they might share with you? Are you asking for syntax help to
write one yourself? If so, post what you have written so far so others
can contribute input and help.
Thank's T.J.,
I have not time to write a script at the moment and I am sure I've
seen such scripts somewhere. I even think there's a simple unix
command to do that in the terminal.
For the simple unix command, see 'man diff'
diff can compare a pair of files or it can compare all of the files in
two directories.
( However, you may find that you want something more flexible -- i.e.
looking for
differences might be only the first step -- you might want to check
modification
date to see which is newer. )
So I would have liked some hints on where to find such script. I know,
that the principle of lists is not ; "hey I need that, have you got it
ready made", but is rather to share experience but realy have no time
at the moment...
Best regards
Michel
If diff doesn't do what you want, then provide more details and we can
give more detailed tips.
