NAME

 audit - control the behavior of the audit daemon

SYNOPSIS

 audit -n | -s | -t

DESCRIPTION

 

The audit command is the general administrator's interface to maintaining the audit trail. The audit daemon may be notified to read the contents of the audit_control(4) file and re-initialize the current audit directory to the first directory listed in the audit_control file or to open a new audit file in the current audit directory specified in the audit_control file as last read by the audit daemon. The audit daemon may also be signaled to close the audit trail and disable auditing.

OPTIONS
