Synopsis

iCk [-v NNN ] [ {envName}={value} ] [ {rule-file} ]

iCk -c [-i | -f {file} | cmd...]

iCkCmd [-i | -f {file} | cmd... ]

iCkAdmin [-c] [-a {on|off} ] [s {entryType [:{ID}]} ]
[-e {entryType [:{ID]} ] [iCk.rules-file]

Description

The iCk process performs various jobs that fall into the category of integrity checks. It is driven by an ASCII file containing rules describing the checks to be performed. Its primary job is to run as a daemon process, started by init, and to perform the specified jobs at the intervals specified by the rules. The secondary job of iCk is to serve as a command interface to a human user and convey commands to the iCk process, which is running as a daemon process.

Note:
The iCk process is a daemon process running as root. Since the rules support the concept of executing an arbitrary command, the /vs/data and the /vs/etc directories must be protected against tampering and the iCk.rules file should only be writable by authorized users.
