Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script to FTP a modified file Post 302591783 by frappa on Friday 20th of January 2012 03:04:32 PM

Hi,

the script performs various checks on the given file with full path stored in FILE_TO_CHECK variable.

The value of last MD5 check is stored in the file referenced by variable MD5FILE.

If you don't want to print messages comment or delete the lines containing the command echo followed by the messages.

The checks are in order:
1. check if file exists;
2. check for an empty md5sum (nothing to compare);
3. check if a file containing a previous md5 sum value exists;
3.1 check if old value of md5sum is void;
3.2 check if old and new md5sum value are identical:
if true: perform something (in your case nothing should be performed)
else: perform some other thing (in your case you should insert the instructions to ftp the file).

see ya

gst-md5sum-0.8

gst-md5sum-0.8(1)						   User Commands						 gst-md5sum-0.8(1)

NAME

       gst-md5sum-0.8, gst-md5sum - get an md5sum of a GStreamer pipeline through md5sink

SYNOPSIS

       gst-md5sum-0.8 [--verbose] [gst-std-options] [partial-pipeline-description]

       gst-md5sum [--verbose] [gst-std-options] [partial-pipeline-description] [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]

DESCRIPTION

       gst-md5sum-0.8 generates MD5 checksums of the data generated by a GStreamer pipeline.

       In theory, both of the following commands should print out the same checksum:

       gst-md5sum-0.8 filesrc location=music.mp3

       md5sum music.mp3

       If  the	pipeline  contains  an md5sink element, gst-md5sum-0.8 queries it for the md5sum at the end of pipeline iteration. If the pipeline
       does not contain an md5sink element, gst-md5sum-0.8 automatically connects an md5sink to the right-hand side of the given pipeline.

       See gst-launch(1) or the GStreamer documentation for more information on how to create a partial-pipeline-description.

       gst-md5sum is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-md5sum-X.X. For  example,  if  both  gst-md5sum-0.7  and  gst-
       md5sum-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-md5sum runs gst-md5sum-0.8.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported by gst-md5sum-0.8 and gst-md5sum:

       --verbose       Output verbose information. You can also use -v to specify this option.

       gst-std-options Standard options available for use with most GStreamer applications.  See gst-std-options(5) for more information.

       The following options are supported by gst-md5sum only:

       --gst-list-mm   List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available.

       --gst-mm=string Force  major/minor  version.  This  option  enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the
		       default version.

       --print	       Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       partial-pipelinePartialppipeline description.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Running the Wrapper Script and Displaying the Command Name
