I am trying to write a script that is to be ran in the console in linux.



It is to look for .jpeg files within a directory and then copy them to a directory called jpegs.



I need to get it to show me the duplicate filenames but only list the duplicate file name once in the list produced (so it doesnt show the same name twice), instead of just showing me the error.



Can anyone help me with how to get this working?



This is the script I have so far:



#!/bin/sh
if ! mkdir jpegs 2> /dev/null
then
echo " Cannot create directory "jpegs" perhaps it already exists."
echo " delete the directory and try again."
exit
fi
for srcpath in $(find fs282/mirror -iname "*.jpg")
do
cp --backup $srcpath jpegs/
done
echo "List of Duplicate Files Follows"
