Just wanted to thank everyone for steering me into the right place. I used the script at perlmonks. Worked right out of the shute :-), although I had to write a small perl script to format the output a bit nicer (darn Win users and their sentences as filenames!) Now the real job: I scanned our user's home directories on our NetApp filer; I locate well over 10,000 dupes! v/r Mike On Thu, Feb 28, 2002 at 10:33:23AM -0700, J.Francois wrote: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+find+duplicate+files http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=2712&lastnode_id=1747 On Thu, Feb 28, 2002 at 12:07:38PM -0500, Mike wrote: > I am looking for a command I can run on the command line (from cron) > which finds/searches (recursively) for duplicate files. > > Can anyone give me a hand? > ________________________________________________ -- Jean Francois - JLF Sends...
