AUDIT_WARN(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						     AUDIT_WARN(5)

NAME

     audit_warn -- alert when audit daemon issues warnings

DESCRIPTION

     The audit_warn script runs when auditd(8) generates warning messages.

     The default audit_warn is a script whose first parameter is the type of warning; the script appends its arguments to
     /etc/security/audit_messages.  Administrators may replace this script: a more comprehensive one would take different actions based on the
     type of warning.  For example, a low-space warning could result in an email message being sent to the administrator.
