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

I am getting No such file or directory if my variable contains white spaces... Is there a way to fix this?
This works
x="1.md5"
md5sum -c "$x"
This, does not
x="23\ 5\ 6\ 7\ 8\ 9\ 10.md5"
md5sum -c "$x"
md5sum: '23\ 5\ 6\ 7\ 8\ 9\ 10.md5': No such file or directory

rt-email-dashboards - Send email dashboards
SYNOPSIS
rt-email-dashboards [options]
DESCRIPTION
This tool will send users email based on how they have subscribed to dashboards. A dashboard is a set of saved searches, the subscription
controls how often that dashboard is sent and how it's displayed.
Each subscription has an hour, and possibly day of week or day of month. These are taken to be in the user's timezone if available, UTC
otherwise.
SETUP
You'll need to have cron run this script every hour. Here's an example crontab entry to do this.
0 * * * * /usr/bin/perl /opt/rt4/local/sbin/rt-email-dashboards
This will run the script every hour on the hour. This may need some further tweaking to be run as the correct user.
OPTIONS
This tool supports a few options. Most are for debugging.
-h
--help Display this documentation
--dryrun
Figure out which dashboards would be sent, but don't actually generate or email any of them
--time SECONDS
Instead of using the current time to figure out which dashboards should be sent, use SECONDS (usually since midnight Jan 1st, 1970,
so 1192216018 would be Oct 12 19:06:58 GMT 2007).
--epoch SECONDS
Back-compat for --time SECONDS.
--all Ignore subscription frequency when considering each dashboard (should only be used with --dryrun for testing and debugging)
