Hello again, now i don't understand because it still give the "change" result and I checked with an echo to see the two different results and they are the same !

Code:

 if [ "$last_checksum" = "$checksum" ]
then
    echo "rien"
else
    echo "change"
fi

echo $last_checksum
echo  $checksum

it gives :

Code:

sh verif2.sh 
change

52f8422918c5347166dbb40c76f95e9c -

we see it's the same it say "change" is there a reason for this ?

Sorry again, I find out !

with the quotes, the new checksum echo result is different thant without the quotes : one more space " -"
If i delete the quote at the first declaration of the checksum valeur its give an operator error, so i add one more space in my last checksum and it works ! !

Thank you so much for your super clear explanations !

I'm now trying to insert it in a cron and send me an email if it changes, the vps where I run this script already works for sending emails because my logwatch emails are finely received.

thank you again.

when I was a kid computers were my hobby and when I can afford it and when my usage of computers fit some of my needs I'm happy to do it myself. But I can confess actually I m jobless in japan and need money so this time I'm not defendable to spend so much time in this hobby...

I really apreciate your help !

Thank you.
