Even if you wanted to implement a solution like this, which you shouldn’t, why on earth monitor the MD5 sum instead of just the mtime of the file??? Like, doing a checksum is the least efficient method of checking this possible.

Like, you could do a simple while loop with a find myfile.txt +mmin 1; sleep 30 in it. Adjust numbers to your desired tolerance.

Again, don’t do that. But if you must, definitely don’t do an md5sum for godssake.

Just a little squat. More than tall enough for an rj45 to plug in though. I think they look a little tight because it doesn’t have the same amount of bezel as a lot of boxes will have around the ports.

Yeah, those are both definitely normal Ethernet jacks. Neither takes a phone cable. You should just need a normal Ethernet line.
