I also recommend aide.  Note that I am only a user and not one of the
developers.

Aide is not quite a program as involved as emacs nor as feature-full
as rsync.  But it does its job quite well.  Changes come when there is
both an itch to scratch and the time and motivation to scratch the
itches.

I consider it to be quite useful.  It works.  I like it better than
any of the alternatives that are available so far.
