Jan 29, 2011I would like to check two folders for duplicate files (two pretty old backup instances).
MY folders are quite alike so I would like to stop the NON-duplicated files for that I want to be able to do some checks not only for the filename but alsofor the filesize (might be the case that two files have same name but not size).
The ideal would be to suggest me such a program with gui but if not I will try run any script code that is available outhere.

Jun 8, 2010What kind of method to find the duplicates files on linux,
1.how to find just using the file name, sometimes i figure out people often to copy their files to another directory and i want to find out if there any same file name in the linux box.
2. what about if i want to find the duplicate files based on contents of the file, example is in picture file if users store picture files from digital camera first they just save the file name in default but when they want to give that picture to others they will rename it, i've been used method md5 for this situation in python script but it takes long time
I'm asking this question just to know to use bash script a lot in work and i want to test out fdupes at home, is fdupes use similar md5 scan to find duplicate files?

Oct 11, 2010I found this command that works great finding and replacing a simple string to another in files located in that folder and all sub-folders.
Code: find . -name '*.php' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/OldText/NewText/g'
The problem I have is that I need to replace a more complex string, like this: Old string: /mnt/stor6-wc2-dfw1/627896/982574/ New string: /mnt/stor8-wc2-dfw1/369587/302589/ There I don't know how to do it... since the / is what separates the old from the new strings, and the strings that I want to replace have / in it. Also, I would like to know how to specify under what folder replace the files, for example, I want that it search/replaces all files under /var/www/mysite/htdocs folder.

Ubuntu :: Startup Applications Appear In Duplicate?
May 16, 2010I tried to put a terminal in the desktop using more or less the procedure described in this article:
[URL]
It worked fine, but then I installed avant-windows-navigator and I think it created some conflicts with compiz and other applications.Both the desktop terminal and Skype started to appear in duplicate when I logged in. So I went to the startup applications menu and disabled them both. When I logged back in they both appear only once, but the terminal is in the wrong spot in the desktop.So there are probably some startup registers somewhere that are causing this.i've tried reinstalling compiz and I uninstall AWN and it didn't work.
OpenSUSE Hardware :: Removing Duplicate Nook Main Memory Folders In /media?
Oct 5, 2010I have a Nook. When I plug it into the USB port on my system, a window pops up asking what I want to do with the new device. I can open it and access media/nook and move files into and out of the directory.
There's a button to "Safely dismount Nook" before I unplug it. I use that. Apparently, however, sometimes it doesn't respond. Now I have .hal-mtab-lock in my /media folder, along with Nook Main Memory and Nook Main Memory (1) folders. I can't delete any of them.
How do I a) delete these folders, and b) make sure it actually unmounts the device in the future?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Imagemagick To Find Duplicate Images
Nov 18, 2010I have a folder that over 70,000 images (within it is a complex hierarchy of subfolders). Of these 70,000 images I assume that I only have ~10,000 unique images; the rest are copies that have been resized. I would like to somehow delete all of the resized copies of the larger originals and remove them, keeping only the original image.
Is there a way to use imagemagick (or any other application) to scan this folder recursively and determine which files may be (resized) copies?

Mar 22, 2010I have some big files of logs that contain errors printed by an app. They are most of the time relevant, however most of them are similar. So i figured i could check what happened between a time interval with a find.
Im using this one
Code:
And I get an output similar to this one.
Code:
Is there a way to condensate the output lines to get only one or two, indicating the start and last occurrence of a block? Or I need to create a program to do so?
Because right now I get thousands of similar lines, but when I'm scrolling through them i sometimes miss relevant information that i would've otherwise noted if it wasn't all that spammy.
Software :: Duplicate Files And A Basedirectory ?
Dec 28, 2010I have two directories, I want to know which files in the second directory also appear in the first and delete the duplicate in the second directory. Filenames might be different (so that rules out diff).
My problem is that various programs (such as fdupes and freedup) are very capable of finding duplicate files but randomly delete (or link) files from the first or the second directory.
Here an example with fdupes:
Code:
As you can see, the file in the third pair is removed from dir1 instead of from dir2. My aim is to have only files deleted from the dir1. I know that fdupes can't do this, as I emailed with the author.
Applications :: Replicating Web Folders Across Production Servers
Oct 20, 2010We have several production machines serving our static content. I want an automatic operation where I would only need to upload to one of them and it will get replicated/mirrored to all machines.Either that or distribute automatically from local source to all machines. First option is obviously better since all machines reside on same LAN and remote to our office.
Another feature I am looking for is to get a full report on what got transferred and if any problems occurred immediately (since usually these deployments can mean downtime for us). Looking around I saw rsync.Using CentOS 5.4-5.5 btw.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Bash Script - Not Duplicate Files?
Sep 1, 2010I am working through a collection of many thousand photographs in many collections, spanning decades. One of the folders is a "Selected_images" folder which should only contain copies of images from the collections.
How can I check that the files in "Selected_images" are all indeed copies and have an identical counterpart somewhere in the collections hierarchy, not necessarily with the same name?
At present I am scanning the output of fdupes -r collection, which is tedious (although, in fact, no photographs should ever be duplicated except in "Selected_images").
General :: Detect Duplicate Files Using Md5sum ?
Feb 21, 2011What i am trying is to check the file duplication in a folder and remove a file if it is a duplicate of another file ie the contents are duplicate; but names may be same.
Basically i am using md5sum to calculate the md5sum values of each file and redirecting to a file. And i am thinking of comparing the md5sum values.But i am finding it hard to decide how to complete the code after redirecting the output of calculation of md5sum to a file.
Programming :: Script To Remove Duplicate Jpg Files
May 25, 2010Thanks y'all for the great script and explanation. This helped a lot in my own project. I thought I'd share the efforts.The project is this: I've got lots of duplicate JPGs from all the family members who've named the same photo with different names. Since md5sum generates a "fingerprint" based on the file contents, not the name, I want to use the md5sum of each jpg to uniquely name each photo and also remove exact duplicates.
It has the following flaws:
0) it doesn't handle certain non-alphanumerics
1) it keeps both photo-shopped and unaltered photos (different md5s)
2) it (currently) doesn't preserve descriptive filenames.
(For me, removal of duplicates is more important than keeping the filenames. I may change that to concatenate the md5 and the filename.)Please note that the commented "rename" command should be used to strip non-aphanumerics from the file names, and the script should be launched with the commented "find" command.
