NAME

       make_md5 - Generate MD5 checksums for given set of users.

SYNOPSIS

       make_md5 [ -C config-file ] [ -D md5_dir ] [ -k count ] [ -f input_file ] [ -m offset ] [ -M modulo ] [ -v ] [ userid...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Generate  MD5  checksums  for  messages	given  set  of	users.	Works  as  incremental update: reads in existing set of MD5 checksums from
       md5_dir/u/userid (hashed on first letter of userid) if that file exists. Scans account looking for new messages, and then updates record.

       The MD5 checksums which are generated are used to test integrity of the master, replica and backup systems on Hermes.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
	      Read configuration options from config-file.

       -D md5_dir
	      Read and write MD5 checksums from md5_dir, overrides configuration file setting of the same name.

       -k count
	      Concurrency level: run up to count asynchronous child processes.

       -f input_file
	      List of accounts to process: use in place of command line arguments.

       -m offset
	      Regenerate given fraction of the user database in combination with -M below.

       -M modulo
	      Regenerate MD5 checksums for given fraction of user database. Allows for rolling consisency checks.

       -v     Verbose mode.
