difference between to directories

[mckiers]

I am trying to determine the missing files between two restores of the same directory.
I have restored the directory to 2 different locations and want to find the files that are different.

Have a look at the dircmp command. 'man dircmp' for details.

# dircmp dir1 dir2

[Jean-Luc Oudart]

go to dir1
ll > /tmp/dir1.out
go to dir2
ll > /tmp/dir2.out

diff -bw /tmp/dir?.out

Jean-Luc

diff dir1 dir 2 will give you details.

You cam also just list the files in dir1 put it in a file and list files in dir2, put it another file and then compare the files with comm command.

Check man pages for diff and comm.
