Well, I see that you fiddle with find (looked via top/ps) to see which files have the same content as others. I don't know exactly how you feed those to md5sum, but one thing that would give the user an *approximate* percentage idea would be to see how many files have already been md5sum'ed. I don't know (internally---I'm too lazy to read the code right now) how you decide which ones have the same contents (perhaps using a hash/dictionary keyed by the md5sum of the file?) but wouldn't this work? Or, at least, something more or less like what I described above. I'm just brainstorming here... :-) Anyway, thank you very much for your efforts, Rogério Brito. -- Rogério Brito : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito Homepage of the algorithms package : http://algorithms.berlios.de Homepage on freshmeat: http://freshmeat.net/projects/algorithms/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
