Script to Compare two directories

[grapes12]

I have the following script which is to compare two directories using the sdiff command

 #!/bin/ksh

LOCALFOLDER=/u1/mac2
REMOTEFOLDER=$(rsh sun5 'ls -lA /u1/mac2' > remotessh.txt)
COMMAND=$(ls -lA $LOCALFOLDER > localssh.txt)
REM=$(cat remotessh.txt)
LOCAL=$(cat localssh.txt)

echo $LOCAL
echo $REM

if [ $REM -eq $LOCAL ]
 then
      echo Directories are the same
 else
      echo Directories are differnt
 fi

#sdiff localssh.txt remotessh.txt | grep '\|'

The output files were created from local and remote servers, I need to put the differences into another file and email the differences how will I do that?

I would also like to cut from the files created the permissions etc, how can i do that?
herewith output file

To keep the first column of "myfile.txt", type:

awk '{print $1}' myfile.txt

Would you not be better off checking checksum/MD5 Sum's of the files within directories on each of the specific nodes building a sorted listing then fetch the lists from each node and diff them against the master node, producing a report for each?

Or is that a bit too low-level for your needs?

Or you could utilize something like Tripwire that does that and more for you

Thanks,

I got the Awk working.BUT i have sub-directories within the directory that i would also like to check.
I changed my script to do a "ls -lAR" to include files from all subdirectories.

MY txt file displaying all differences is much bigger, but not showing me in which directory the differences are
How can i change my script to list the directories and the files within that sub-directories.

Instead of using ls -lAR try using find /u1/mac2 | xargs ls -ld, that way it should include the full path with every filename.
