Comment:
Write a script named finddup which goes through all the files under a directory and prints a list of possible duplicate files. finddup accepts one argument; the name of a directory. As its output, it prints zero or more lines, each one containing a space-separated list of filenames. All the files listed on one line have the same MD5 hash; i.e., are believed to be identical. A sample invocation of finddup
This shows three sets of duplicate files: a copy of the Linux kernel sources in two places, what looks like a JPEG image in 3 places, and a MP3 file in two places.
You would get a better reaction if you started with
"I'm having trouble with my class room assignment. I've read the study material and tried to solve this on my own but I'm having difficult with these part."
No one here is under an obligation to do your homework for you.
This is so dodgy Unix System Admin assignment 2 .... could you have been a little more subtle and not copied out half of the assignment sheet??? I wonder what greg and andrew would say about this....
LOL... isn't it funny how people who teach the subject, also use this forum.
its a small world, and in side such a specific topoligy of people (unix admins) you will be hard pressed to get much past us!
Relevant staff are aware of this post, and perhaps i should remind all others reading this group of the following link: http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/students/plagiarism.shtml
"Penalties for plagiarism are specified in regulation 6.1, Student Discipline. They are imposed by a disciplinary hearing chaired by a senior staff member. Academic staff are required by the regulation to report all suspected cases of plagiarism to the Head of School, who is responsible for convening the hearing. Lecturers do not have the discretion to discuss cases directly with students."
