NAME

       aide.wrapper - call aide binary for Debian mechanisms

SYNOPSIS

       aide.wrapper [options]

DESCRIPTION

       aide.wrapper   calls  the  aide  binary  with  --config  appropriate  for  the  mechanisms
       automatically used in the Debian package. To prevent damage to the database,  aide.wrapper
       takes  out a lock and will refuse to run a second aide process when there is still another
       one running.

       If  no  --config  option   explicitly   given,   aide.wrapper   will   set   --config   to
       /var/lib/aide/aide.conf.autogenerated  and  invoke  update-aide.conf prior to invoking the
       aide binary.

OPTIONS

       aide.wrapper hands down all options down to the aide binary verbatim and only detects  the
       presence of --config to determine whether to call update-aide.conf or not.
