I've done lots of this kind of thing before.  The key problem is not
finding out that something has been updated, it's finding out when it
has stopped being updated.  

Lots of flaky attempts resulted in me abandoning try to be clever and
just using a marker file instead.  Not always applicable, YMMV.
