Why do you need an intermediate file?<br />
<br />
Just run<br />
<br />
md5sum /tmp/sample-files/* &gt;&nbsp;md5-sum-results<br />
<br />
That's all.<br />

Why do you need an intermediate file?

Just run

md5sum /tmp/sample-files/* > md5-sum-results

That's all.

Hi Wmp,<br />
<br />
Thaks for the comment. <br />
<br />
md5sum /tmp/sample-files/* &gt;&nbsp;md5-sum-results would work for my initial plans . Instead of, having to run the md5sum command multiple times against the target directories, i was planning to run it once against a src file containing a list of the files to be checksummed.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I would like a script to achieve the following:<br />
<br />
(Example locations only)<br />
/tmp/sample-files contains the following files: md5-1, md5-2, md5-3 etc<br />
<br />
1. Run the script against the target directory /tmp/sample-files <br />
2. Create a file that contains a list of the files to be checksummed (md5-sum-src)<br />
3. Run the md5sum command against the above file and output the results to another file (md5-sum-results).<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
