AUDIT_WARN(5)                              BSD File Formats Manual                             AUDIT_WARN(5)

NAME
     audit_warn -- alert when audit daemon issues warnings

DESCRIPTION
     The audit_warn script runs when auditd(8) generates warning messages.

     The default audit_warn is a script whose first parameter is the type of warning; the script appends its
     arguments to /etc/security/audit_messages.  Administrators may replace this script: a more comprehen-sive comprehensive
     sive one would take different actions based on the type of warning.  For example, a low-space warning
     could result in an email message being sent to the administrator.

FILES
     /etc/security/audit_warn
