That would be oh so much cooler :).

I've never run it, but the description is that it builds a profile of the
things you want watched, then goes out on a regular basis to make sure
they haven't changed.

Better is still to run off a ro medium. Anyone know the project that was
doing that? I will be needing that soon.
