Graham, I found a small utility on another list some time ago and it seems to do a pretty good job. It's a comman line thingie about 8 lines long. It'll do recursive checking and then list all the dups by groups so you can delete the ones you dont want. I found it useful to clean some crap off my drives.
It's only about 300 bytes small. If you want, I'lll send it to you as an attachment.
If it is an script, put it here, and we can all coment on it.
Yes. Please let us see this concise script. I live to learn.
As previously mentioned I have found fslint. On examining it is using a number of scripts to achieve the functionality and has a GTK GUI wrapper to make it easier to use. If you are interested in bash scripts and how to do a number of checks on files you can download it from here. http://www.iol.ie/~padraiga/fslint/ I just ran the program on a directory containing about 3Gig of files and it took about 1.5 minutes to come back with a list of dups. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
