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 existing 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.
