I see admintools-filescanner.php has code to support a quiet mode...

$verboseMode = $this->input->get('quiet', -1, 'int') == -1;

...but I have not found anything about setting this in the documentation.

I am interested in only getting emails for differences.

This is a debug setting and it will NOT disable sending of emails with the script's output. This is a feature of your CRON server. You need to modify the CRON command line and put the following at the end (leave a space between the existing CRON command line and this):
> /dev/null

This tells the CRON server to discard the standard output. If PHP prints out error or warning messages, however, they will be sent to you by email by your CRON server. This is a good thing; it will let you know if something's gone wrong with the server itself, preventing the scheduled scan from taking place.

Now, for the second leg of your question: getting an email about the changes. This is a feature of Admin Tools itself. Go to Components, Admin Tools, Options, File Change Scanner and set:
  • Send results to this email to your email address. This tells Admin Tools to email this address when a PHP File Change Scanner scan has run in any way other than through the backend of your site.
  • Email only on actionable items to Yes. This tells Admin Tools to email you only when there are added, modified or suspicious files found during the scan.
