MAKE_MD5(HERMES)                                                                            MAKE_MD5(HERMES)



NAME
       make_md5 - Generate MD5 checksums for given set of users.

SYNOPSIS
       make_md5 [ -C config-file ] [ -D md5_dir ] [ -k count ] [ -f input_file ] [ -m offset ] [ -M modulo ]
       [ -v ] [ userid...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Generate MD5 checksums for messages given set of users. Works as incremental update: reads in  exist-ing existing
       ing  set  of  md5  checksums  from  md5_dir/u/userid  (hashed on first letter of userid) if that file
       exists. Scans account looking for new messages, and then updates record.

       The MD5 checksums which are generated are used to test integrity of the master,  replica  and  backup
       systems on Hermes.

OPTIONS
       -C config-file
              Read configuration options from config-file.

       -D md5_dir
              Read  and  write  md5 checksums from md5_dir, overrides configuration file setting of the same
              name.

       -k count
              Concurrency level: run up to count asynchronous child processes.

       -f input_file
              List of accounts to process: use in place of command line arguments.

       -m offset
              Regenerate given fraction of the user database in combination with -M below.

       -M modulo
              Regenerate MD5 checksums for given fraction of user database. Allows  for  rolling  consisency
              checks.

       -v     Verbose mode.
