.SH NAME
aide.wrapper \- call aide binary for Debian mechanisms
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B aide.wrapper
.RI [ options ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B aide.wrapper
calls the
.B aide
binary with
.B --config
appropriate for the mechanisms automatically used in the Debian
package. To prevent damage to the database,
.B aide.wrapper
takes out a lock and will refuse to run a second aide process when
there is still another one running.

If no
.B --config
option explicitly given,
.B aide.wrapper
will set
.B --config
to
.B /var/lib/aide/aide.conf.autogenerated
and invoke
.B update-aide.conf
prior to invoking the aide binary.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.B aide.wrapper
hands down all options down to the aide binary verbatim and only
detects the presence of 
.B --config
to determine whether to call
.B update-aide.conf
or not.
