automated object compare

[maw]

within the admin client you can compare two objects for differences. For example compare folder XXX in DEV versus folder XXX in production. We have the requirement to do this weekly against all objects. The help shows this

Comparing objects command
About this task
Use the Compare objects command to compare two applications, two application groups, or two folders. The comparison information is written to a file and displayed in a browser

Are they referring to just the admin client functionality, or is there a command we can execute within a script? They say command, so I am hoping it is externalized from the client, and usable outside of it.

I would-

Export everything to an xml file, via arsxml
Do some scripting of that output file, to peform your comparison.
