\_ SMTP quoth Lynn David Newton on 2/28/2002 12:28 as having spake thusly: \_ \_ [...] \_ David> I smell a find coming up. \_ \_ find alone would be inadequate. Heh, yeah. Amazingly, find doesn't have a --duplicate-files option :-) \_ [...] \_ \_ #!/bin/ksh \_ find "$@" -follow -type f | \_ while read f; do md5sum $f; done | \_ sort | uniq -w 32 -D I think perhaps running md5sum on every file might be a bit of a CPU heater. If I were inclined to be nice to the CPU, I'd check size then md5sum if the same...unless you're coffee's cold or you have cycles to burn. :-) David
