-T Type of concern for thresholds
"bigger/smaller" than thresholds

# $ ./check_file_growth.sh -f /var/log/system.log -M stat -i 30
# File grew by 118 bytes
#
# 2.) If file has grown by more than (c)ritical or (w)arning bytes in 30 seconds exit with critical or warning status. Use the stat program to check the bytes.
# $ ./check_file_growth -f big.log -M stat -T bigger -c 1000000 -w 5000000 -i 30
