I don't know if this is the kind of thing you are looking for or not, but in the past I have used a small script that a programmer wrote for me to invoked the validate command for BagIt on a periodic basis and then delivered a report. I don't know exactly how many files we had at that point but it was definitely in the thousands.

Subject: [NDSA-INFRASTRUCTURE] Question re Checksum Tools

Hello,

Reading over the minutes from the last call and draft of the fixity paper prompts me to pose a question to all of you.  Do you use or know of any stand-alone tools/programs for automated, server-side fixity checks of large files batches (thousands of files)?  Not necessarily looking for open source.  Any pointers to online resource lists on this topic?

Thanks very much,
Shawn
