Using the Checksum File

The "-checksum" generates a file called "checksum.csv". This file contains file names and their SHA-1 checksum like:

amos-adams.html,b0538fb8186a50c4079c902fec2b4ba0af843061
massachusetts-united-states.html,79db811c089e8ab5653d34551e6540cb2ea2c947

The lines are ordered by the file name so the output is ideal for comparison.

Here is an example of using the previous and current checksum file to generate sync commands:

join -a 1 -a 2 -t, -o 0.1,1.2,2.2 /old/checksum.csv /new/checksum.csv | \
   awk -F, '$2 == $3 { next } { print $3 == "" \
       ? "rm /some/folder/" $1 \
       : "cp" " " $1 " /some/folder/" $1 }'

Will produce commands like:

cp abos-adams.html /some/folder/abos-adams.html
rm /some/folder/massachusetts-united-states.html
