That's almost certainly not what you want, and will only serve to confuse.

Ah, but you've now unconfused me.


Try running just this instead:

md5 /tmp/httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz

What I want to do is avoid having to verify a match by eye. Here's what I just tried:


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FreeB md5 httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz > thing1 ; echo 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c > thing2 ; echo difference is `diff thing1 thing2` ; rm thing1 thing2
difference is 1c1 < MD5 (httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz) = 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c --- > 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c
FreeB md5 httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz > thing1 ; echo 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c > thing2
FreeB more thing1


MD5 (httpd-2.0.48.tar.gz) = 466c63bb71b710d20a5c353df8c1a19c
FreeB
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seems the problem here is that the md5 cmd's output is not simply the result string but a description of the cmd together with the result. If I need to do much of this guess a little pgm's called for.
