md5sum checks one file a time. i want a script that recursively check files in a directory.Thanks! PS: the script's application: in DOS 6, there is antivirus program called "msav" that check if executables are changed or infected. such program is no longer available is Windows, so i want a script that does this job.
find <workdir> -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum -print0 so as to cope well with filenames containing spaces. -0 to tell xargs the names in the list ar nul-terminated. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa@computerdatasafe.com.au Z1aaaaaaa@computerdatasafe.com.au Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/
