autrace - a program similar to strace

CONTENTS

Synopsis
Description

autrace program <program args>

autrace is a program that will add the audit rules to trace a process similar to strace. It will then execute the program passing arguments to it. The resulting audit information will be in the audit logs if the audit daemon is running or syslog. This command deletes all audit rules prior to executing the target program and after executing it. As a safety precaution, it will not run unless all rules are deleted with audtictl prior to use.

The following illustrates a typical session:

service auditd stop
rm -f /var/log/audit/audit.log
service auditd start
autrace /bin/ls /tmp
service auditd stop
vi /var/log/audit/audit.log

auditd(8), auditctl(8)
