Sorry to be late replying, just returning to the keyboard after the 
arrival of baby #2.

I'm not familiar with AIDE but presumably you've come across things like 
inotify and fanotify. A quick Google suggests Watchman which uses 
inotify but I'm not sure how you can monitor for changes in files you 
know will change (e.g. .bash_history), but I haven't dug into the docs 
to see what kind of rules you can base watches on.
