[TriLUG] Search for Duplicate Filename, Ignore Extension

[Igor Partola]

How about something like this:

$ for f in `find /`; do basename "$f" | cut -d'.' -f1; done | sort | uniq -c

That'll tell you the counts of the filenames. Then just search for ones
that are not unique and use another script to consolidate them.
