COMMANDS

17       --check, -C
18              Checks the database for inconsistencies. You must have  an  ini‐
19              tialized  database to do this. This is also the default command.
20              Without any command aide does a check.
21
22       --init, -i
23              Initialize the database. You must initialize a database and move
24              it  to the appropriate place before you can use the --check com‐
25              mand.
26
27       --update, -u
28              Checks the database and updates the database  non-interactively.
29              The input and output databases must be different.
30
31       --compare
32              Compares  two databases. They must be defined in configfile with
33              database=<url> and database_new=<url>.
34
35       --config-check, -D
36              Stops after reading in the configuration file. Any  errors  will
37              be  reported.   If aide was compiled with the "--with-dbhmackey"
38              option, a hash for the config file will be calculated.  See  the
39              aide manual for more information.
