Is there anything I can use to take an inventory of the filesystem before and after some process to see what's changed?
Thanks! jlc

I believe the audit subsystem can do this for you .. check out http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-audit-files-to-see-who-made-changes-to-a-file.html

I frequently do something like this:
touch /tmp/copyctrl # do update here find / ! -type d -newer /tmp/copyctrl | sort > /tmp/changelist

A simple thing I've done is to use touch to make a timestamp file just before running the process. Then a find command check for files or directories that have a modification time later than the timestamp file is used. I think the parameter is "-later"? Use the man page to confirm.
WFM very well.
Thanks!

OOPS! My first reply ignored the fact you wanted an "inventory". I presume you mean a "snapshot" that you can use for a diff?
