When checkpoint was initially added, such activity (one by one event consumption) was not envisaged. If this is needed I can look into providing it.
Pls advise.
I'm trying to use the ausearch checkpoint feature in conjunction with
the "--just-one" option in order to parse some events one at a time.
However, using this I only get the first event (audit 2.8.5).
IOW I'm doing:
# let CNT=10
# while [ $CNT -gt 0 ] ; do
auditctl -m "Event $CNT"
let CNT=$CNT-1
done
# ausearch -i -ts recent --checkpoint /tmp/check --just-one -m user
< Returns event 10 >
but
# ausearch -i --checkpoint /tmp/check --just-one -m user
<no matches>
Thx,
LCB
