    Assorted collection of shell scripts etc. to help with common IT tasks (by rdiez)

  • Yeah, I ran across two programs that did this: https://github.com/rdiez/Tools/tree/master/RDChecksum Uses file existence, file size, and modified date to add/remove/rehash a file in the list. https://github.com/rhash/RHash Uses only file existence So both of these store relative file path/name with the hash to see if a given file is new/deleted, and RDChecksum additionally will rehash existing files if they've been modified. Personally I feel like just the existence of the file would be enough if you could also tell it to rehash just as specific sub-directory from a larger checksum file that you know has been updated

  • RHash

    Great utility for computing hash sums
