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).
