Done. I duplicated the code of the second if[] since I could not easily come
up with a version that does not use some kind of shell variable weirdness
and still work the same way. I prefer to keep this clean and easy to
understand. The attached patch makes /dev/null the first argument of diff
when sockstat.today does not exist.

So far, two people like the change. Since I can't help in making the change
go in, I trust that after checking I did not break anything that I missed in
my tests, you'll either give me a 'go ahead' to send-pr or just commit this
yourself?
