AIDEINIT(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       AIDEINIT(8)

NAME
       aideinit - create a new AIDE database

SYNOPSIS
       aideinit [options]

DESCRIPTION
       aideinit  creates a new AIDE database. It will initialize an AIDE database in the default database_out location. It will then prompt you to
       replace your existing AIDE database. In most cases you will want to check for any problems before doing this.

       aideinit attempts to automatically detect the correct locations of your database and database_out files based on your  aide.conf  settings.
       These settings may be overridden on the command line, as may the prompts.

OPTIONS
       -y, --yes
	      Overwrite database_out file

       -f, --force
	      Force overwrite of database with new database

       -c, --config
	      Specify alternate config file

       -o, --output
	      Specify alternate output file

       -d, --database
	      Specify alternate database file

       -b, --background
	      Run in the background (will mail any errors to aide.conf MAILTO or root)

FILES
       /etc/aide/aide.conf, /etc/aide/aide.conf.d
	      Default AIDE configuration files

       /var/lib/aide/aide.db
	      Default location for AIDE database

       /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new
