AUTRACE:(8)                                System Administration Utilities                                AUTRACE:(8)



NAME
       autrace - a program similar to strace

SYNOPSIS
       autrace program [-r] [program-args]...

DESCRIPTION
       autrace  is a program that will add the audit rules to trace a process similar to strace. It will then execute
       the program passing arguments to it. The resulting audit information will be in the audit logs  if  the  audit
       daemon  is  running  or syslog. This command deletes all audit rules prior to executing the target program and
       after executing it. As a safety precaution, it will not run unless all rules are deleted with  auditctl  prior
       to use.

OPTIONS
       -r     Limit  syscalls  collected  to  ones  needed for analyzing resource usage. This could help people doing
              threat modeling. This saves space in logs.

EXAMPLES
       The following illustrates a typical session:

       autrace /bin/ls /tmp
       ausearch --start recent -p 2442 -i

       and for resource usage mode:

       autrace -r /bin/ls
       ausearch --start recent -p 2450 --raw | aureport --file --summary
       ausearch --start recent -p 2450 --raw | aureport --host --summary


SEE ALSO
       ausearch(8), auditctl(8).
