Bug ID: 230589
Summary: periodic scripts generate spurious emails
Product: Base System

Make "check_diff new_only" not generate spurious emails
Many periodic scripts check log files and generate an email if there is
something new.
Often, you receive spurious emails like this:
> myhost kernel log messages:
>
> -- End of security output --
Obviously, there are no log messages to report.
Reason is a logic error in "check_diff new_only" which should generates a
message only if there are new lines in given log. Unfortunately, a message is
also generated if there are __removed__ lines, even though those removed lines
are not shown (and not meant to be shown).
I've attached a fix.
