Does the suggestion do what you want?

Another might be to use xargs similar to this:-
Code:
find . -type f | xargs -tn1 md5sum > /md5sums/file.txt

The flags are:-
  • -t - write the arguments to STDERR for each run of the command named
  • -n - limit the number of arguments, in our case to 1 so we see each file click through


Do either of these work for you?
