Hi,

I'm looking for a simple way to compare two complete diretory trees on
a file-by-file basis. I thought of using 'find' together with 'cmp',
something like

  cd dir1; find . -type f -exec cmp {} ../dir2/{} \; 

... the problem is that the file names used in {} contain at least
some residues of the paths (demo: 'find . -type f -exec echo {} \;' ),
so this does not work so easily ... did anybody work this out as an
(almost) one-line procedure??

Background is especially the verification of my backups, local & on
CD-ROM. 

Cheers,

-- Joerg
