If you want the md5 operation output, use md5sum instead of ckcum

If you have lots of files and you should be ensuring that they are identical (i.e. no files missing or extra on the target) you can use sum, cksum or md5sum on a wildcard and catch the output to a file, then compare the files. As an alternate with md5sum you can run it on the source system into a file, transfer the file and run it again on the target system using the -c flag, a bit like this:-
Code:
md5sum -c /tmp/md5sums.file 2>/dev/null |grep ": FAILED"

Any extra files on the target side will be ignored though. Is that acceptable?

gst-md5sum

GStreamer(1)						      General Commands Manual						      GStreamer(1)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       gst-md5sum [OPTION...] PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

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

       In theory, running

	    gst-md5sum filesrc location=music.mp3

       should print out the same checksum as

	    md5sum music.mp3

       The  pipeline  should  be  incomplete,  that  is, a final sink element should be omitted, so that gst-md5sum can connect the pipeline to an
       md5sink element.

       See the man page for gst-launch or the GStreamer docuementation for more information on how to create a PARTIAL-PIPELINE-DESCRIPTION.

OPTIONS

       gst-md5sum accepts the following options:

       --help  Print help synopsis and available FLAGS

       -v      Output verbose information

       --gst-info-mask=FLAGS
	       GStreamer info flags to set (list with --help)

       --gst-debug-mask=FLAGS
	       GStreamer debugging flags to set (list with --help)

       --gst-mask=FLAGS
	       GStreamer info and debugging flags to set (list with --help)

       --gst-plugin-spew
	       GStreamer info flags to set Enable printout of errors while loading GStreamer plugins

       --gst-plugin-path=PATH
	       Add directories separated with ':' to the plugin search path
