The code I created monitors directories, files and reports when it has changed. It saves the md5sums of the files it is monitoring and sends alert whenever any files change.
It sends an excel report to admin. My code is not working. I getting error messages.
log.xlsx - the log output should look like the following:
Code:
permission userid group time size file status
-rwxr--r-- c66770 dephrs 1:00:00:00 1435 report.java appeared
-rwxr--r-- c74570 dephrs 2:00:00:00 6993 report2.java changed
-rwxr--r-- c34569 dephrs 2:00:00:00 6993 report3.sas disappeared
Here is my code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
MONITORDIR=/opt/log.xlsx
cd /opt
NOW='date + %d%B%Y%H%M%S '
"$MONITORDIR" > /opt/log.xlsx
for fILE in ls -l $(find /foo/* -type f )
do
md5sum "$(FILE)" cut -d " " -f1 > "$(MONITORDIR]"/"$(FILE)"
done
while :
do
NOW='date + %d%B%Y%H%M%S '
for fILE in ls -l $(find /foo/* -type f )
do
prev = 'cat "$(FILE)" || echo 0'
if [-s "$(FILE); then
#it exists and has content
md5=md5sum "$(FILE)" cut -d " " -f1 > "($MONITORDIR)"/"$(FILE)"
if ["$prev" != "$md5"]; then
case "$prev" in
0) echo "'date' $FILE appeared."
*) echo "'date' $FILE changed."
esac
cp "$[FILE]" "$(MONITORDIR)/$(FILE).$NOW"
fi
else
# doesn't exist; did it exist before?
if [$prev !=0]; then
echo "date' :$FILE disappeared."
echo > 0 "$(MONITORDIR)/$(FILE)"
fi
fi
done
sleep 10
done

Reason: some more code tags
Other then mentioned in previous post there is a quicker way.
Check out -c option of md5sum.
So basically you start a find with absolute paths and run md5sum on every file required redirecting output into a file.
Then you just run
Code:
md5sum -c <file created with absolute paths>
It will report if checksum has changed since the last find ran, which you can parse further.
Other then that, if you are on Linux systems you might as well use inotifywatch so achieve the same (constant logging of changes made and on which files).
Remember, you cannot use it on NFS filesystems.
