Ah, I see what you mean. In case anyone else is wondering, Michael's use of xargs (with the -t, echo command line to stderr) will allow one to see which rpm the verify output is from. There isn't an option for rpm -V that will do that. Another good example of Unix at work: Small tools that can be chained together for accomplishing a variety of tasks.
