A simple script with find and md5sum and cron accomplishses
this. I shall not insult you by providing you with this trivial
script.

It is the source of all programs. I do not know its name, so I will
call it the Tao of Programming. If the Tao is great, then the
operating system is great. If the operating system is great, then
the compiler is great. If the compiler is greater, then the
applications is great. The user is pleased and there is harmony in
the world. The Tao of Programming flows far away and returns on the
wind of morning. Geoffrey James, "The Tao of Programming"
