18 The \fBaudit\fR command is the system administrator's interface to maintaining
19 the audit daemon \fBauditd\fR(1M). The audit daemon can be stopped, started, or
20 notified to reread the configuration, stored in \fBsmf\fR(5) and managed using
21 the \fBauditconfig\fR(1M) command.
28 Notify the audit daemon to close the current audit file and open a new audit
29 file in the current audit directory.
38 Validates the audit service configuration and, if correct, notify the audit
39 daemon to reread the audit configuration. If the audit daemon is not running,

49 Direct the audit daemon to close the current audit trail file, disable
50 auditing, and die. Use \fB-s\fR to restart auditing.
59 Validate the audit service configuration. At least one plugin must be active;
60 if that plugin is \fBaudit_binfile\fR then its \fBp_dir\fR attribute must
61 contain at least one valid directory, and its \fBp_minfree\fR attribute must

91 The \fB-v\fR option can be used in any zone, but the \fB-t\fR, \fB-s\fR, and
92 \fB-n\fR options are valid only in local zones and, then, only if the
93 \fBperzone\fR audit policy is set. See \fBauditd\fR(1M) and
94 \fBauditconfig\fR(1M) for per-zone audit configuration.
