I've been running my systems at home and work with the following diff for some time. I tend to prefer the unified diff output format than the default diff -b output.
Does anyone else like this? Any ideas for making the diff format configurable in periodic.conf (i.e. to making it easy to switch between diff -u and diff -c output)? % Index: security.functions % =================================================================== % RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/etc/periodic/security/security.functions,v % retrieving revision 1.3 % diff -u -r1.3 security.functions % --- security.functions 30 Jun 2003 22:06:26 -0000 1.3 % +++ security.functions 7 Sep 2004 07:50:35 -0000 % @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ % [ $rc -lt 1 ] && rc=1 % echo "" % echo "${msg}" % - diff -b ${LOG}/${label}.today ${tmpf} | eval "${filter}" % + diff -u -b ${LOG}/${label}.today ${tmpf} | eval "${filter}" % mv ${LOG}/${label}.today ${LOG}/${label}.yesterday || rc=3 % mv ${tmpf} ${LOG}/${label}.today || rc=3 % fi _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
