alertkeymatch

Description

Type string READONLY

alertkeymatch contains the pattern matched by pmlocald. This variable is not available for use in the policy file, it is only available in the event log. To view the event log, use the pmlog -l command.

Example
#view all alerts recorded in the audit log that match the pattern "passwd" 
pmlog –l -c 'alertkeymatch == "passwd"'

argc

Description

Type integer READONLY

argc contains the number of arguments supplied for the original command. This includes the command name itself. For example, if the original command is pmrun ls –al, then argc is set to 2.

Example
# if any arguments are passed to a vi editor program, like vi
# then verify the path is not in a list of forbidden directories 
if ((basename(command) in vi_program_list) && (argc > 1)) 
{ 
   count=0; 
   while (count < length(forbid_dir_list)) 
   { 
      if (glob(forbid_dir_list[count], dirname(argv[1]))) 
      { 
         reject "You are not allowed to edit a file in this directory"; 
       } 
      count=count+1; 
   } 
}
