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
      -n    Signal audit daemon to close the  current  audit  file
            and  open a new audit file in the current audit direc-
            tory.
 
      -s    Signal audit daemon to read audit control  file.   The
            audit daemon stores the information internally.
 
      -t    Signal audit daemon to close the current  audit  trail
            file, disable auditing and die.
 


DIAGNOSTICS
      The audit command will exit with 0 upon success and a  posi-
      tive integer upon failure.
 


FILES
      /etc/security/audit_user
