MD5SUM With program
 

Hi All,

As I am asked to create a program that runs MD5SUM as follows:

1. Run MD5 against a file and generate a checksum

1. Because there are a lot of files in sequence number say file1, file2, etc. So everytime we run MD5 to check a file say file1 then it generates checksum1.md5, and file2 > checksum2.md5 and so on

I think it is possible but please help/show me where I start or somepoint to start with. I have done a bit of Unix before.

Thank you in advance

The cmd is here http://linux.die.net/man/1/md5sum and bash docs here http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-G...tml/index.html http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

You'd need code similar to
where the files to md5sum are listed one to a line in the file files.lst.
You can use the above links to amend the code to your spec.

Hi Chris

much appreciated.

I'll give it a go.

Cheers
