<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you’re mounting the Windows share to linux (I assume via smbmount or some Samba component, then the code could actually be a lot simpler.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A windows “dir /s /a <drive letter:” command’s output includes the drive letter and the free space info, which would be both different and irrelevant, so this module included code to normalize/cut that portion of the output before comparing
an SSA256 signature for changes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A linux implementation shouldn’t need anything like that. The “ls -lRa /monitored/directory” output shouldn’t require any sort of normalization.<o:p></o:p></p>
