I've googled this quite a bit, and tried searching on these forums, but haven't found a solution to my problem. I wanted to inquire about AIX's audit subsystem - more specifically, how to rotate its log file.
So far I've been able to find how to rotate AIX syslog log files, and I found some cronlog info, but neither helps me with audit.log. Does AIX have a way of automatically rotating this file once it reaches a certain size? I really want to avoid having to write a script to monitor the files, rename them and restart audit, but I'll do it if it comes down to it. Any info will be greatly appreciated.
However, I had to put in log rotation into my script, as I couldn't find something to do it for me. Basically, my code does the appropriate moving of files, then does "audit shutdown" and "audit start". Not pretty, but it works. Oh well. ;|
