Script to Compare Folder Structures and File Contents

rajaniyer123 · 11-11-2008, 11:51 AM

Hi

I would like to know, can someone provide the link of script in solaris which can compare below things

1. No. of diff folders & files among two folders.
2. Contents of important configuration files among two folders.

For example :

I have to compare application folder say /opt/tomcat in test & production environment, in that case I can copy both the folders in common location and run the script, so that I can come to know the difference like "Beyond Compare" in windows.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks
Rajan

rsync? The source code of rsync might give you some inspiration.

Why is a recursive diff insufficient for your case?
