audit - control the behavior of the audit daemon
The audit command is the system administrator's interface to maintaining
the audit daemon auditd(8). The audit daemon can be stopped, started,
or notified to reread the configuration, stored in smf(7) and managed
using the auditconfig(8) command.
-n
Notify the audit daemon to close the current audit file
and open a new audit file in the current audit directory.
-s
Validates the audit service configuration and, if
correct, notify the audit daemon to reread the audit configuration. If the
audit daemon is not running, the audit daemon is started.
-t
Direct the audit daemon to close the current audit trail
file, disable auditing, and die. Use -s to restart auditing.
-v
Validate the audit service configuration. At least one
plugin must be active; if that plugin is audit_binfile then its
p_dir attribute must contain at least one valid directory, and its
p_minfree attribute must be between 0 and 100.
The audit command will exit with 0 upon success and a positive
integer upon failure.

The -v option can be used in any zone, but the -t, -s, and
-n options are valid only in local zones and, then, only if the
perzone audit policy is set. See auditd(8) and
auditconfig(8) for per-zone audit configuration.
