Full Discussion: Script to monitor progress of find/exec command
Top Forums Programming Script to monitor progress of find/exec command Post 303004232 by rbatte1 on Thursday 28th of September 2017 07:19:48 AM

You could try changing it to drive a loop, something like this:-
Code:
while read file
do
   printf "$file\n" >&2
   md5sum "$file"
done < <(find . -type f) >> /md5sums/file.txt

That should write to STDERR and not get captured in the output file. Can I just ask, do you mean to append to your output file? The output could be a complete overwrite because it should be the output from the find command, not each individual md5sum.



I hope that this helps,
Robin
