Speaking of modules
-------------------

wget http://wb/sd/code/walkdb.py

To build a database of the files in your home directory:

python walkdb.py -w ~yourlogin

ls -l ~/yourlogin/lastmod.db

To read the database:

python walkdb.py -r ~yourlogin

And to check which files have changed (and update the database):

python walkdb.py -c ~yourlogin
