NAME

       aideinit - create a new AIDE database

SYNOPSIS

       aideinit [options]

DESCRIPTION

       aideinit  creates  a new AIDE database. It will initialize an AIDE database in the default
       database_out location. It will then prompt you to replace your existing AIDE database.  In
       most cases you will want to check for any problems before doing this.

       aideinit  attempts  to  automatically  detect  the  correct locations of your database and
       database_out files based on your aide.conf settings. These settings may be  overridden  on
       the command line, as may the prompts.

OPTIONS

       -y, --yes
              Overwrite database_out file

       -f, --force
              Force overwrite of database with new database

       -c, --config
              Specify alternate config file

       -o, --output
              Specify alternate output file

       -d, --database
              Specify alternate database file

       -b, --background
              Run in the background (will mail any errors to aide.conf MAILTO or root)
