Diff/head - not sure if this is the right command to use

http://www.unix.com – Hi, I need some advise on whether there is a better way of doing what I am currently planning to do. Perhaps I should be using arrays instead of re-directing output to files? I need to use a tool/program named ADRCI provided by Oracle to remove trace files that it generates. Honestly it is not the best one to use but unfortunately the nature of the job calls for "WE MUST USE IT". Anyway, the tool has issues where even if I say purge files that are x-number of days old, it still was not able to delete some of the very old files. I am guessing that it may be checking something in (HowTos)

I was backing up my home dir when I found many ".jpg.pnj" and ".zip.id3" files. The ".pnj" files seem to be thunbnails for the ".jpg" files I have.

I'd be interested in your opinion on finding duplicate files on a Linux system. I've been working with music and photo files trying to purge duplicates. I've tested several programs and have met with good to excellent results, but duplicates still exist. I've also read many web pages that suggest how to remove dupes.

Diff on 1gb files 29 weeks 5 days ago

Hey Guys, I have a scenario to compare two different files which are of size 1gb each. I need to get the uncommon lines. I planned to use sdiff command, which generally works perfect for me. But in this case am facing a error saying

"diff: memory exhausted" Can anyone please explain this.

Hello all,

I'm having trouble with a bash script. I have something like this: export VAR=`command`

The problem is that "command" can return this: "** NONE **". bash will then replace each of the * by the list of files in the current directory.

I want the output to be uninterpreted (i.e.

I have installed Meld and found out it's a great comparing tool. Unfortunately there is no integration with Nautilus 3.2. This means, I can't right click on files and select an option to open them in Meld for comparison.

I have seen in the tools comment that the tool need the diff-ext package to be installed. This package has been removed from Ubuntu universe, I am guessing because gtk 3.0.
