46is a script whose first parameter is the type of warning; the script
47appends its arguments to
48.Pa /etc/security/audit_messages .
49Administrators may replace this script: a more comprehensive one would take
50different actions based on the type of warning.
51For example, a low-space warning
52could result in an email message being sent to the administrator.
