Lenny,

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.

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

but

# ausearch -i --checkpoint /tmp/check --just-one -m user

<no matches>


Thx,
