NAME
aideinit - create a new AIDE database
SYNOPSIS
aideinit [options]
DESCRIPTION
aideinit creates a new AIDE database. It will initialize an AIDE
database in the default database_out location. It will then prompt you
to replace your existing AIDE database. In most cases you will want to
check for any problems before doing this.
aideinit attempts to automatically detect the correct locations of your
database and database_out files based on your aide.conf settings. These
settings may be overriden on the command line, as may the prompts.
