Example — Copying Selected Records to a Single File

In this example, login and logout messages for a particular day are selected from the audit trail and merged into a target file. The target file is written in a directory other than the normal audit root directory.

# auditreduce -c lo -d 990413 -O /usr/audit_summary/logins 

The -O option creates an audit file with 14-character timestamps for both the start-time and the end-time, with the suffix logins:

/usr/audit_summary/19990413000000.19990413235959.logins
