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.
