[SlugBug] shell script help

[Beneath]

Hi,

> i want to write a bash script to compare each file in directory2 to
> each file in directory1 and, if the files are the same, to delete the
> file in directory2.  if a file in directory2 does not match any file
> in directory1 then no action is taken.

for FILE in $(ls directory1/*); do
  for FILE2 in $(ls directory2/*); do
    if [ $(cmp $FILE $FILE2) -eq 0 ]; then
      rm $FILE2
    fi
  done
done

Should work.
