We can certainly help...as soon as you post the script you've written, and tell us where you're stuck. Since you've been here for FOUR YEARS now, you should be well familiar with the man pages, and the basics of Linux commands and scripting.

Hi,

This?

# ls -1 folder1 folder2 | rev | cut -d "/" -f 1 | rev | sort | uniq -d

Unless you want to know that the files are identical as well as sharing the same name when it would be something more like this:

# md5sum folder1/* folder2/* | sed "s/ .*\// /" | sort | uniq -d | cut -d " " -f 2 | sort

I'm sure there are more beautiful ways to do it, but this should get you going?

Code:

diff -q folder1 folder2 --suppress-common-lines

and if you want sub-directories included:

Code:

diff -q folder1 folder2 --suppress-common-lines -r

see

Code:

diff --help

for further switches such as Case-Sensitivity
el al.
