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)?
