First of all I want to apologize because i'm not a admin or coder and maybe all my efforts to write only this small script in my life would need one week full time reading man pages and forums but...
I don't have the money to offer me to get this time and the script I want to do seems very simple, what I want to say is my errors in the script are newbie ones...
I want to do this :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
$1=52f8422918c5347166dbb40c76f95e9c
checksum=`curl --silent httptheurliwanttocheck | md5sum`
$2=checksum
if [ "$1" = "$2" ]
then
echo "nothing"
else
echo "change"
fi
but it doesnt work.
after this works I want to this script to really do nothing if nothing changes and to send me an email if there is a changement. It takes me super long time to understand all these stuff and i'm now thinking about forgetting this and going every day to see if the page changed... This post is my last try.
If its insult to the unix community to ask this I'm sorry.

Hi all,
I am kinda puzzled. When and Why do we use md5sum? I've read man pages for mp5sum, but didn't get anything out of it. Please, can someone explain this to me in couple of words.
Thank you all. (1 Reply)

Is it possible to call the unix command md5sum from within a C program. I am trying to write a C program that scans a directory and computes the MD5Sum of all the files in the directory. Whenever I use md5sum 'filename' I get the error 'md5sum undeclared'. Is there a header file or some library... (3 Replies)
something strange is that i find the md5sum command in different linux generate different result, for example, i have tried the same file in CentOS and Rhel, The md5 results are different, it is quite headache, who know the tricks? (3 Replies)
Hello,
I need to download multiple files from an FTP server but occasionally they arrive in error so I need to perform an integrity check. I've been attempting to write a bash script that does the following:

And not to start. I can compare files, that's easy. The problem is that I compare files in a directory, and check if these files exist in another directory. The problem is that the file names are not the same. So I have to compare with "md5sum" or something similar. How I can do?
All this in... (7 Replies)
I'm trying to think of a way to compare two boxes and make sure their files will be the same. There may be extra files on one side and some on the other.
I also need to make sure the file content is identical.

I'm running on a staging server. I will need to use expect and I think ssh or scp to the other boxes.
I need to see something like this....Enter:Host 1

This works

This, does not
