bionic (8) aide.wrapper.8.gz

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.
