So I'm trying to check dozens of files using a shell script. The file check happens at different times.
Is there a way to do this?
md5sum -c 24f4ce42e0bc39ddf7b7e879a File.name
or even better sha512sum
sha512sum -c 24f4ce42e0bc39ddf7b7e879a File.name
Right now I have to do this:
md5sum -c file.md5sums File.name
Or better yet I could have all the md5sums in a single file and check them like this:
md5sum -c `sed 1p file.md5sums` File.name
md5sum -c `sed 2p file.md5sums` File.name
md5sum -c `sed 3p file.md5sums` File.name
md5sum -c `sed 4p file.md5sums` File.name
It just seems silly to have dozens of files with single entries in them.

If you're doing this in a script then you can just do a simple comparison check e.g.
Note the extra spaces and

needed to match the output from md5sum.You can make this a one-liner if it looks cleaner
