How to check md5sum using bash?
Hi,
i use a script to run programs from sfs files, that loads the sfs automatically if it is not loaded. It also downloads the sfs from the web if it is not found on the computer.
Now i want to make automatically a md5sum check of the downloaded file. The md5sum is already in the run-script i just need to know how i can create a md5sum using BASH.
I need the result as a $md5sumcheck variable not as console output.
My favorite from the command line is "md5deep", which does a very nice recursive md5 (nice for comparing the contents of one drive against another). It reports both file size, and md5, so you can look for identical copies of the "big hitters". _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile
