ainfo satprep_diff

satprep_diff.py creates host patch PDF reports using patch/errata snapshots created by satprep_snapshot.py. If you verified your management preparation using satprep_prepare_maintenance.py -V it also uses a file called verification log to pre-select checkboxes for snapshots and downtimes. Using additional parameters you can customize the look of reports.
