I wrote a wrapper scripts for these.  It dumps the output to a file, then compares to the previous night's output.  If there is a difference then it emails me.  The idea is that you review the output initially, then monitor for changes.  The wrapper script also eliminates certain false positives that annoy me.

Secondarily, try samhain [http://www.la-samhna.de/samhain/].
