Problem with watching power commands - key is not logged

[Stephen Buchanan]

Glad to hear that it's working for you now.

Typically, the '-w <path/filename>' syntax is to watch system files for
modification, not so much to audit the execution of the command (like for
power events, as you're doing). The way I audit reboot commands (among
others) is:

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S acct -S reboot -S sched_setparam -S
sched_setscheduler -S setrlimit -S swapon -k reboot_sched_swap
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S acct -S reboot -S sched_setparam -S
sched_setscheduler -S setrlimit -S swapon -k reboot_sched_swap
and
-w /var/run/utmp -p wa -k session

This might not be sufficient for your needs, but hopefully it's helpful.
