Subject: aide: please add an option to quicky check for config file syntax

Date: Fri, 07 Jan 2005 17:43:20 +0100

Package: aide
Version: 0.10-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Hi,

it would be desireable to be able to check a config file for correct
syntax, returning a non-zero exit code on an incorrect config file.

Greetings
Marc

This is already partly implemented. Aide takes a --config-check
parameter. However, this doesn't work as advertised (doesn't detect
some errors which are flagged as such on aide --check), and it is not
documented in the man page.

It is now documented. I added code to the wrapper to use --config check
before invoking the real thing, that'll help verifying whether
config-check will detect all errors that will influence the actual aide
run.
