Why not just a simple bash one-liner |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
for i in token{a..z}; do md5sum -c $i; done |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
AFAIK the md5sum will report success or failure for each of the |
| 15 |
checksum lines in tokena, tokenb, etc. |
| 16 |

If this doesn't suit your needs, can you describe in more detail your |
| 18 |
desired behaviour? |
