Here's a bash script that I wrote to calculate the MD5 hash of all files in the specified directory and below. It's quick and dirty, but I've found it useful to compare files in 2 directories to see if anything has changed. I can pipe the results out to a file for each directory and then diff them. OR, even better, you can compare them with md5sum itself by:
cd <dir-to-compare>
md5sum -c <file-contatining-sums>
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
# Script that calculates an MD5 hash for each file in the specified directory
# and all directories below that.
#
# Author: Tom Pierce
# Date: 10/31/02
export IFS=$'t\n'
# a quick check to see if any files were given
# if none then its better not to do anything than rename some non-existent
# files!!
if [ "$1" == "" ]
then
echo "Usage: md5dir "
exit 0
fi
# For each file in the specified directory, get the md5
for file in $(find $1 -type f)
do
md5sum "$file"
done
