Re: space_left_action=exec only works once?
Thanks Steve for the suggestion. Unfortunately, even with my script
sending USR2 to auditd, i still get the same behavior where the
space_left_action=exec call to the script only happens once.
Thoughts?

You may need to send SIGUSR2 to `pidof auditd` to reset the internal
counters. Let me know if that does not fix it.
