Super-scan

Detect changed files using PHP/MySQL/CRON

Introduction

This set of scripts is an evolution from what David K. Lynn offered as a SitePoint article and then through suggestions from Han Wechgelaer.

For the original code and readme, you can check the repository for which this is a fork: SuperScan. Although based on the same original code, this repository is now very different from David K. Lynn's version, so I have removed his readme as well.

Super-scan is a package built for Laravel that allows simple File change detection and reporting.

Installation

Register the SuperScanServiceProvider in your config/app.php:

JoshWhatK\SuperScan\SuperScanServiceProvider::class,

Publish the config file and migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="JoshWhatK\SuperScan\SuperScanServiceProvider"

Change the default Account(s) as you wish:

Example

'account' => [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Default Account
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This account information is saved to the database during the super-scan
    | migrations. If you are not using the default
    | JoshWhatK\SuperScan\Database\Account model, then this can be removed.
    |
    */

    'defauts' => [
        [
            'name' => 'Base Account',
            'server_name' => 'hostname',
            'ip_address' => '127.0.0.1',
            'scan_directory' => '/var/www/html'
            'public_url' => 'https://www.example.com',
            'excluded_directories' => [
                'logs',
            ],
        ],
    ],
],

If you would like to use your own Account model, just make sure that it implements JoshWhatK\SuperScan\Contracts\AccountInterface.

Now you can set up the Scan to run as a Laravel task in app/Console/Kernel.php.

$schedule->call(function () {
    try {
        Scan::run(Account::first(), new Report);
    } catch (\Exception $e) {
    }
})->everyMinute();

Now you can test it using:

php artisan schedule:run
