cksum – compare for multiple files.

2013-04-30 1 min read Fedora Learning Linux

If you have to compare cksum for couple of files, the you know how cumbersome it is. So, I wrote a simple script, wherein you can create a file called cksums in the current directory and copy paste the result of  “**cksums ***”  into this file, and then run this script. Cool 🙂

#!/bin/bash -
#===============================================================================
#
#          FILE: checkcksums.sh
#
#         USAGE: ./checkcksums.sh
#
#   DESCRIPTION: Compare cksums of multiple files.

file=cksums
while read line
do
    a=( $(echo $line) )
    if [[ -f ${a[2]} ]]
    then
        b=( $(cksum ${a[2]}) )
        if [[ $a == $b ]]
        then
            echo "Cksum for ${a[2]} = ${a[0]} matches"
        else
            echo "Failed ::Cksum for ${a[2]} = ${a[0]} matches"
        fi
    else
        echo "Failed :: file ${a[2]} does not exist"
    fi
done < $file
