Hi,

I have a working script, well it works on my machine but when I try it on others the cksum section does not work properly (I know the scripting is not of a high quality but I'm just trying to get it working)

Heres the script:

#!/bin/sh

case $# in
0) echo "usage: enshar filename filename2 ...";;

*) for file
do

if [ -d $file ]
then echo "usage: cannot shar directory"

elif [ ! -f $file ]
then echo "usage: file does not exist"

elif [ ! -r $file ]
then echo "usage: file is not readable"

else
echo "cat > $file <<\!EnShAr!"
cat $file
echo "!EnShAr!"
echo "set 'cksum $file'"
cksum $file > temp1
awk '/^/ {print $1}' temp1 > temp2
echo "test \$1 =" > temp1
more temp2 >> temp1
echo "|| echo \$0: BAD checksum in $file >&2" >> temp1
tr "\n" " " < temp1 > temp2
more temp2
echo
fi

done ;;

esac

My problem is: I need to get cksum to function properly, I need it to check the file before transfer, then after and display the number ( in some cases in just shows ::::::::: ), any help is very appreciated.
