    waswas-fng,
    Cool! I am not sure how I missed this. So as long as both files are sorted, comm will be 100% correct no matter how divergent the two servers are?

    I will have to try it.

    Cheers - L~R

      Yes, I have used it much over the years. pre sorted lists are 100%.

      Edited to add: the only exception is on some OSes where they do not support largefiles and the input files are larger than 2gb. Whats even cooler about it is that uoi can pipe comms together and test for in file one and two but not three etc. comm is nice.

    Nice, thanks!

    But isn't the 3rd line be the intersection and not the union? 

    comm  -1 -2 master slave >intersection_master_slave
