NAMExymondigest - calculate message digests SYNOPSISxymondigest md5|sha1|sha256|sha512|sha224|sha384|rmd160 [filename] DESCRIPTIONxymondigest(1) is a utility to calculate message digests for a file or document. It is used when defining HTTP- or FTP-based content checks, where xymonnet(1) checks that a URL returns a specific document; instead of having to compare the entire document, the comparison is done against a pre-computed message digest value using the MD5, RIPEMD160, SHA1 or any of the SHA2 (SHA-512, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-224) message digest algorithms. The optional filename parameter is the input file whose message digest should be calculated; if no filename is given, the data is read from standard input. xymondigest outputs a string containing the digest algorithm and the computed message digest. This is in a format suitable for use in the hosts.cfg(5) definition of a content check. EXAMPLE $ xymondigest md5 index.html
