| File Name | Description |
|---|---|
| /usr/bin/aide | AIDE binary. Shouldn't be called directly if AIDE debian package is used. It will result in the following error: Couldn't open file /var/lib/aide/please-dont-call-aide-without-parameters/aide.db for reading. |
| /usr/bin/aide-attributes | Translate hex messages from aide check to human readable information. |
| /usr/bin/aide.wrapper | A shell script which should be called instead of /usr/bin/aide. It guarantees that just one instance of aide is running at the same time. It will also take care of debian aide config structure (aide.conf.d). |
| /usr/sbin/aideinit | Shell script to initialize an aide database to /var/lib/aide/aide.db.new. |
| /usr/sbin/update-aide.conf | Bash script to generate /var/lib/aide/aide.conf.autogenerated from the config file /etc/aide/aide.conf and all files in the sub directory /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/. It is invoked by aide.wrapper. |
| /etc/default/aide | Settings to control aide executions. Can be used to set mail address, subject and other things. |
| /etc/cron.daily/aide | Shell script for cron. It invokes update-aide.conf. An aide check is executed. The detected differences are mailed to root or to the $MAILTO address. |
