How can I test all zip files in a folder to verify if they are corrupted or not?

Question

There was a utility a long time ago called CFAtest that was doing this quite nicely, but it has disappeared.

Basically, I am looking for a similar tool (preferably graphical) that will traverse a given path (preferably including subfolders) and test all zip files that it finds.

Decent logging options would be a plus.

Answer 1

This will find in all subfolders the files (-type f) with the extension zip (or ZIP or Zip or zIp and so on, case is ignored, -iname) and test their integrity (unzip -t).

find -type f -iname '*.zip' -exec unzip -t {} \;

Answer 2

It might not be quite what you asked for but there is a tool named Zip2Fix.

I haven't used it but you can download it from here:
