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 sys-
       log.  This command deletes all audit rules prior to executing the target program and after executing it. As a safety pre-
       caution, 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  model-
              ing. 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).
