Seems pretty simple to me?

i think hes ater an app that can scan the root partition to check the system files etc. a bit like ccleaner on the PC that does hyour housekeeping for you by removing left behined files etc as well.

correct me if im wrong though

If he wanted an app like ccleaner why didn't he post in the other threads about ccleaner?



What i'd like to see in a post is what someone is actually looking for, and not make use guess to at the question to provide an answer

(He could have just searched the forums for healthcheck and asked in my thread....) - very much doubt a search was involved though.

Hi noobmonkey, thanks for your healthcheck app, which is great. The idea is simple, e.g. I think (am an n00b to linux) there are a list of files which required to run the OS, are they all in correct place? working in the correct order? system security check etc. Hope I am not talking non-sense.

Thanks

You can check system file integrity against their md5 sums in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.md5sum. Unfortunately the command line tool debsums ( http://transit.iut2.upmf-grenoble.fr...html?1+debsums ).
is not packaged yet, /usr/bin/md5sum is there though.

Cheers.
