38runs when

42The default
43.Nm
44is a script whose first parameter is the type of warning; the script
45appends its arguments to
46.Pa /etc/security/audit_messages .
47Administrators may replace this script: a more comprehensive one would take
48different actions based on the type of warning.
49For example, a low-space warning
50could result in an email message being sent to the administrator.
