EDIT: Ok, I see you modified your original post, let me give that a shot.

Thanks for the reply.

Ok, I did:

Code:
find Files/ -name '*.zip' -or '*.apk' -or '*.exe' -print0 |
        xargs --null md5sum

Which returns:

Code:
grdlock@mainbox:~/Temp$ ./md5script2
find: paths must precede expression: *.apk
Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e  -

The syntax of the find command isn't working. So just for testing purposes I took out the -or switches and tried it just for .zip files, and it worked, it outputted the md5's of the .zip files, however, I'm not sure how I would write those md5's to the .desc files using your example, instead of just outputting them?

Ok, wow, that's working. Smilie

The only problem is for some reason the -or switch isn't working. It still says "find: paths must precede expression: *.apk" for anything with the -or option.

That's really no big deal though, you're been more than helpful already! It won't take too much extra time to make a script for each file extension, or just run it multiple times or something.

Either way I really appreciate the help. Also, thanks for the explanation of how everything works as well!

A2ENSITE(8)                                                   System Manager's Manual                                                  A2ENSITE(8)

NAME
a2ensite, a2dissite - enable or disable an apache2 site / virtual host SYNOPSIS
a2ensite [ [-q|--quiet] site] a2dissite [ [-q|--quiet] site] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the a2ensite and a2dissite commands. a2ensite is a script that enables the specified site (which contains a <VirtualHost> block) within the apache2 configuration. It does this by creating symlinks within /etc/apache2/sites-enabled. Likewise, a2dissite disables a site by removing those symlinks. It is not an error to enable a site which is already enabled, or to disable one which is already disabled. Apache treats the very first virtual host enabled specially as every request not matching any actual directive is being redirected there. Thus it should be called 000-default in order to sort before the remaining hosts to be loaded first. OPTIONS
-q, --quiet Don't show informative messages. -m, --maintmode Enables the maintainer mode, that is the program invocation is effectuated automatically by a maintainer script. This switch should not be used by end users. -p, --purge When disabling a module, purge all traces of the module in the internal state data base. EXIT STATUS
a2ensite and a2dissite exit with status 0 if all sites are processed successfully, 1 if errors occur, 2 if an invalid option was used. EXAMPLES
a2dissite 000-default Disables the default site. FILES
/etc/apache2/sites-available Directory with files giving information on available sites. /etc/apache2/sites-enabled Directory with links to the files in sites-available for enabled sites. SEE ALSO
apache2ctl(8). AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Stefan Fritsch <sf@debian.org> (based on the a2enmod manual page by Daniel Stone <daniel@sfarc.net>) for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. 8 June 2007 A2ENSITE(8)
