you might want to look at the tripwire application ( available from a 
few repos ) , it does something similar to what you have in mind, and 
will do scheduled checks.

The other option is just a plain and simple rpm -V <pkgname>. that will 
also verify the files, owned by that package, for changes since install 
time.

Also, try not top posting :)
