Summary: Check_Log problem with log rotation

Initial Comment:
Release 1.4.5

In cases where a logfile being monitored is rotated,
the matching contents of the oldlogfile (file being
used for comparisons) will trigger an error even tho
none exist in the active monitored log.

On line 200

$DIFF $logfile $oldlog > $tempdiff

# Count the number of matching log entries we have
count=`$GREP -c "$query" $tempdiff`


I'm no developer, but it looks like this doesn't
differentiate between matches in oldlog and matches in
logfile.

I tweaked line 198 to remove diff output from the RHS file (the old log)

$DIFF $logfile $oldlog | $GREP -v "^>" > $tempdiff


File Added: check_log
