I have been plagued by this problem for monthes now. I don't have a
solution, but here is a bash shell script that will reproduce the
problem. It is checking every file in its argument list. It is most
likely to cause the problem when presented with a long argument list.
I like to exercise it by launching it from C:\Windows as
undupe.sh *
Here is undupe.sh:
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
echo "Usage: undupe.sh files..."
exit 1
fi
declare -i first
declare -i n_dup
((n_dup = 0))
echo "Will process $# files..."
while [ $# -gt 1 ]
do
left=$1
if [ -f "$left" ]
then
((first = 1))
for right in "$@"
do
if [ $first -eq 1 ]
then
((first = 0))
else
if [ -f "$right" ]
then
cmp -s "$left" "$right"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "$right" is the same as "$left"
((n_dup = n_dup + 1))
fi
fi
fi
done
fi
shift
done
echo "Deleted $n_dup files"
