UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I need a command/script, who opened my dataset, consider a situation like, if a user has opened the dataset few days back then, that command/script should list his/her id.

I don't want audit on my dataset, i need only list of users who are using my dataset.

Thank you.

Unless you are auditing a file's access when it is accessed, there isn't much chance of finding out what accessed it days later.

Thank you Don,

Okay fine. Could you please let me know how to create audit on dataset, and how to access the same?

And one more point here is, i have set of files under a folder. I need to have audit for all those files. So, is there any way to create audit for the library?

Thank you.

This is no longer a UNIX for Dummies Q&A type question. The way to do this varies considerably from system to system.

Please post details about what operating system you're using and someone may be able to help you set up file auditing for that system. (Note also that you'll need administrative privileges to set up auditing; you can't do it as a "normal" user.)

Thanks Don for the info,

Here it goes,

we do generate 1000's of files in various folders (Libraries) using SAS in UNIX os. I need to generate, users who are using these files. So, i just wanted to know is there any process/script to accomplish the task.

Please let me know if you still need info on this.

Thank you.

I will highlight it for you...

Thank you Corona, please let me know once it done.
