Simple File Integrity Checker

Simple script to update and verify the checksums of filenames.

Usage

sfic.sh -f <filename> <options>

Options

Option	Description
-f, --file <filename>	Filename with list of files/paths
-c, --check, --verify	Verify checksums
-u, --update	Update checksums
-h, --help	Show help
-V	Show program version and exit

Filename example

Each line represent a filename or path (wildcards can be used). Lines prefixed with # or ; is excluded.

/etc/passwd

# MySQL related config files
/etc/mysql/*

# Apache2 config files
/etc/apache2/*

NOTE:

The path/file in the input file is passed directly to md5sum, stderr is sent to /dev/null so if the user does not have permission to view the files, all errors will be hidden.

A file containing the filenames and checksums, will be placed in the same directory as the input file, and have a .md5 extension.

Requirements

Requires md5sum command.
