Use check_log2.pl, which maintains state through scans and only scans
new lines. Remember so set max_check_attempts to 1 if you do, since it
will never reach critical otherwise.
An alternative would be to truncate the logfile for every pass, but then
you would need to duplicate them by some other means.
