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

Hi Wmp,
Thaks for the comment.
md5sum /tmp/sample-files/* > 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.
Cheers,
Phil.

Just run
md5sum /tmp/sample-files/* > md5-sum-results
That's all.
