A.3.3. Differentiating between Latest Config Files

To view the differences between the config files on disk and the latest revisions in a channel, issue the command: 
 rhncfg-manager diff --channel=channel-label --dest-file=/path/to/file.txt \ /local/path/to/file
You should see output resembling: 
 /tmp/dest_path/example-config.txt /home/test/blah/hello_world.txt --- /tmp/dest_path/example-config.txt config_channel: example-channel revision: 1 +++ /home/test/blah/hello_world.txt 2003-12-14 19:08:59.000000000 -0500 @@ -1 +1 @@ -foo +hello, world
