Thanks.  This is definitely the info I was looking for.

Ed,



One indirect way of achieving this is to author a script that

- sends SIGUSR1 to the auditd process (which causes auditd to immediately 
rotate the logs. It will consult the max_log_file_action to see if it should 
keep the logs or not.)

- do whatever you need to do with the rolled over audit.log files



Clearly you only have access to the rolled over log files (given that's what 
you want).

I would like to know if there is a way to tell auditd to run a script or
command after it rotates its logs.  I can do this with logrotate, but would
much prefer something native to auditd.  I spent some toime with Google and
found only logrotate solutions.

Thanks,
