Non-recursive:
$ find <directory> -type f -maxdepth 1 | xargs md5sum > checksums.txt
If you just want all of the files in a dir, just do
md5sum * > checksums.txt
It'll skip directories (and warn on the sommand line for each skipped
dir, unless you add a 2>/dev/null).  No need to fire up find *and*
xargs in that case. :)
--Danny, who generally prefers -exec to piping through xargs...
GREAT : Thanx Danny ;)
