OK, tried all this out and am running into a problem. If I use your script as written, the exact phrase 'ls --full-time $watchdir | md5sum' is the only thing that gets written into the sumfile. I've tried a few things to change the syntax (switch the option and the $watchdir, added full quotes to the $watchdir, and so forth) but the effect is the same. What am I doing wrong?
I think this was answered, but try it this way:
newdirsum="$(ls --full-time $watchdir | md5sum)"
