Last time I checked Hostgator will give you shell access for a one time
charge of $10 per virtual host on their reseller accounts.
There is more to your story and a problem I would think some of us have.
I was bit by the recent Drupal exploit. Security is the down side of
open source. I was bit several years ago because of an exploit in an
open source app.
It literally feels like a war zone out there. I recently found a Drupal
install on one of my domains that I had forgotten I had put out there.
I, like you David, tend to set it and forget it. Not any more.

It’s a shared (reseller) hosting account at HostGator.
I can upload scripts and set them up to run under cron (via cPanel),
but I don’t have SSH access.

Does anybody know of any scripts like tripwire that are designed
to be installed on shared hosting accounts to alert you to
unexpected changes?
Tripwire works by taking an inventory of the folders and files
you want to monitor. It then will do a scan periodically via a
cron entry and compare the file signatures with those recorded
previously, as well as the two sets of file lists. Any new,
modified, or deleted files will be reported to you via email or
something like that.
Somebody hacked into one of my websites through an exploit on an
old WP plugin that I neglected to update. I have no idea when it
happened, but just learned about it last week. I don’t pay a lot
of attention to most of my sites, so I thought it would make sense
to install something like tripwire to look for unexpected changes.
(Tripwire itself needs to be installed in the root and needs root
access, AFAIK. Maybe not. Suggestions welcome!)
