HI,

I am lil bit confused here.... should we not use .profile in the script at all....I was in assumption that it is the safest way of doing it .....If we have our username and password in a script can't we use the variables defined in our .profile and use those variables in our script and run our .profile at starting of our script....I thought it is the best way...Is it not ...? please suggest if there is another way....

Thanks,

Girinath.

aa-autodep

AA-AUTODEP(8)							     AppArmor							     AA-AUTODEP(8)

NAME

       aa-autodep - guess basic AppArmor profile requirements

SYNOPSIS

       aa-autodep <executable> [<executable> ...]

DESCRIPTION

       aa-autodep is used to generate a minimal AppArmor profile for a set of executables. This program will generate a profile for binary
       executable as well as interpreted script programs. At a minimum aa-autodep will provide a base profile containing a base include directive
       which includes basic profile entries needed by most programs.  The profile is generated by recursively calling ldd(1) on the executables
       listed on the command line.

BUGS

       This program does not perform full static analysis of executables, so the profiles generated are necessarily incomplete. If you find any
       bugs, please report them at <http://https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/+filebug>.

SEE ALSO

       apparmor(7), apparmor.d(5), aa-complain(1), aa-enforce(1), aa-disable(1), aa_change_hat(2), and <http://wiki.apparmor.net>.

AppArmor 2.7.103						    2012-06-28							     AA-AUTODEP(8)
