Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Making a script to copy files not seen before (using md5sum) Post 302848675 by nbsparks on Thursday 29th of August 2013 06:26:35 PM

So I'm thinking more as I go... I haven't test this yet, but it this a valid modification?

Code:
SRC=/user/nick/.phonesync/photos-backup
DST=/user/nick/.phonesync/photos-new
MD5=/user/nick/.phonesync/photos-backup.md5

for f in $SRC/*
do
  grep -q $f $MD5
  if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
    cp $SRC/$f $DST
  fi
done

Then the one thing I would want to add to this is to do an append of the md5sum of each file copied. So maybe having a "md5sum $f >>$MD5" before the close of the if statement. Does that sound like it would work? If so, how do I properly include that in the if? (Yes, I'm very new to this.)

Thanks!

NAME

       dfo - Desktop Flickr Organizer for Gnome

DESCRIPTION

       DFO  allows  online/offline  mode  management  of your photos. With DFO you can manage your existing photos and sets, create new sets, edit
       tags, descriptions, and permissions, contribute to group pools, and so on. Basically performing most of the tasks that Flickr's online man-
       agement tool Organizer does.

NOTE

       The first time you run DFO, the app won't know who you are or have access to your Flickr account, so all you will see is a window with sev-
       eral empty panes. To get started, select Connect from the File menu. DFO will open a link to the Flickr site in your default  Web  browser,
       where you must grant DFO authorization to connect to your Flickr account. This is a security precaution enforced by Flickr on all apps that
       use the Flickr API.
