bash users looking for something similar can use my md5tool.sh bash script that wraps around the md5sum gnu utils program:

I personally use the script to verify backed up and archived data integrity on a regular basis. The script creates a checksum.md5 file in the directory you specify, that checksum.md5 file has the md5 checksums for every file found below the directory you specified. Then later you can run the script with the "CHECKALL" argument to make the script find and verify every checksum.md5 file it finds.
