You could do something like
cat > /tmp/mytemp
for i in `ls /tmp/mutt*`; do
diff /tmp/mytemp /tmp/$i > /dev/null
test = $?
if [ $test == "0" ]; then
filename=$i # Oh, that looks like the filename I need
fi
done
mv /tmp/mytemp /tmp/$filename
This depends on a reading of diff to see what it returns if it gets 2
identical files to compare.
