Log starts/stops events from Audit System - aix

Im hardening an AIX 7.1 box and i need to ensure that all starts/stops of "audit" system are logged on the AIX System.
Does anyone have an idea on how can i achive this?

In /etc/security/audit/events you have:
* audit()
AUD_It = printf "cmd: %d arg: %d"
In /etc/security/audit/config add:
...
classes:
others = AUD_It
...
users:
root = others
user = others
...
When you run the command:
# audit start
# audit query
# audit shutdown
You will see:
# tail -f stream.out
event login status time command wpar name
--------------- -------- ----------- ------------------------ ------------------------------- -------------------------
AUD_It user OK Mon Aug 19 13:47:04 2013 audit
cmd: 1 arg: 0
AUD_It user OK Mon Aug 19 13:47:19 2013 audit
cmd: 2 arg: 0
AUD_It user OK Mon Aug 19 13:47:25 2013 audit
cmd: 4 arg: 0
Where cmd values:
audit start command to enable the audit subsystem. This will generate
the AUD_It event with a value of 1
audit query command to see which events and objects are audited. This will generate the AUD_It event with a value of 2
audit shutdown command to deactivate the audit subsystem again. This will generate the AUD_It event with a value of 4

Returning a map object in cypher

I need to create edges between a set of nodes but it is not guaranteed that the edge is not exists already, I need to know which edges has been created so I can increment the edges counter for the two connected nodes.
I want to know the edges count for every node without querying the graph each time.
Example:
MERGE (u:user {id:999049043279872})
MERGE (g1:group {id:346709075951616})
MERGE (g2:group {id:346709075951617})
MERGE (g1)-[m1:member]->(u)
MERGE (g2)-[m2:member]->(u)
Sometimes the user is already a member of the group so I don't want to increment the counter in this case.
I tried to use the result statistics but it returns the created relationships number only, I thought also about using a map and then fill the content using ON CREATE SET after MERGE:
WITH {g1:0, g2:0} as res
MERGE (u:user {id:999049043279872})
MERGE (g1:group {id:346709075951616})
MERGE (g2:group {id:346709075951617})
MERGE (g1)-[m1:member]->(u)
ON CREATE SET res.g1 = 1
MERGE (g2)-[m2:member]->(u)
ON CREATE SET res.g2 = 1
RETURN res
But it does not works; the server crashes immediately after executing the query.

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Neo4j stores already a counter inside each node to count the number of relationships and to provide a fast count access. When you want to get the number of members in a group, you can simply do:
MATCH (g:group)
return size((g)<-[:member]-())

How to check Oracle internal process?

I want to know what oracle internal process is running for the below session details.
How to check what process is being carried out by "ora_j001" ?
Please provide me query to find out the process ?

In such kind of process how to check whether what kind of oracle internal process is running ?
You have listed your SID there. This will find the current SQL being run by any SID. Tie this back to DBA_JOBS or DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS to see job related activity.
select q.sql_text, q.piece from V$SQLTEXT_WITH_NEWLINES
where q.SQL_ID = <SID>

How to parse bhist log

I am using IBM LSF and trying to get usage statistics during a certain period. I found that bhist does the job, but the short form bhist output does not show all of the fields I need.
What I want to know is:
Is bhist's output field customizable? The fields I need are:
<jobid>
<user>
<queue>
<job_name>
<project_name>
<job_description>
<submission_time>
<pending_time>
<run_time>
If 1 is not possible, the long form (bhist -l) output shows everything I need, but the format is hard to manipulate. I've pasted an example of the format below.
For example, the number of line between records is not fixed, and the word wrap in each event may break the line in the middle of a word I'm trying to scan for. How do I parse this format with sed and awk?

I'm adding a second answer because it might help you with your problem without actually having to write your own solution (depending on the usage statistics you're after).
LSF already has a utility called bacct that computes and prints out various usage statistics about historical LSF jobs filtered by various criteria.
For example, to get summary usage statistics about jobs that were dispatched/completed/submitted between time0 and time1, you can use (respectively):
bacct -D time0,time1
bacct -C time0,time1
bacct -S time0,time1
Statistics about jobs submitted by a particular user:
bacct -u <username>
Statistics about jobs submitted to a particular queue:
bacct -q <queuename>
These options can be combined as well, so for example if you wanted statistics about jobs that were submitted and completed within a particular time window for a particular project, you can use:
bacct -S time0,time1 -C time0,time1 -P <projectname>
The output provides some summary information about all jobs that match the provided criteria like so:
$ bacct -u bobbafett -q normal
Accounting information about jobs that are:
- submitted by users bobbafett,
- accounted on all projects.
- completed normally or exited
- executed on all hosts.
- submitted to queues normal,
- accounted on all service classes.

This command also has a long form output that provides some bhist -l-like information about each job that might be a bit easier to parse (although still not all that easy):
$ bacct -l -u bobbafett -q normal
Accounting information about jobs that are:
- submitted by users bobbafett,
- accounted on all projects.
- completed normally or exited

Long form output is pretty hard to parse. I know bjobs has an option for unformatted output (-UF) in older LSF versions which makes it a bit easier, and the most recent version of LSF allows you to customize which columns get printed in short form output with -o.
Unfortunately, neither of these options are available with bhist. The only real possibilities for historical information are:
Figure out some way to parse bhist -l -- impractical and maybe not even possible due to inconsistent formatting as you've discovered.
Write a C program to do what you want using the LSF API, which exposes the functions that bhist itself uses to parse the lsb.events file. This is the file that stores all the historical information about the LSF cluster, and is what bhist reads to generate its ouptut.
If C is not an option for you, then you could try writing a script to parse the lsb.events file directly -- the format is documented in the configuration reference. This is hard, but not impossible. Here is the relevant document for LSF 9.1.3.
My personal recommendation would be #2 -- the function you're looking for is lsb_geteventrec(). You'd basically read each line in lsb.events one at a time and pull out the information you need.

Dump incremental file location

How does dump create the incremental backup? It seems I should use the same file name when I create a level 1 dump:
Full backup:
dump -0aLuf /mnt/bkup/backup.dump /
and then for the incremental
dump -1aLuf /mnt/bkup/backup.dump /
What happens if I dump the level 1 to a different file:
dump -1aLuf /mnt/bkup/backup1.dump /
I am trying to understand how dump keeps track of the changes. I am using a ext3 file system.
This is my /etc/dumpdates:
# cat /etc/dumpdates
/dev/sda2 0 Wed Feb 13 10:55:42 2013 -0600
/dev/sda2 1 Mon Feb 18 11:41:00 2013 -0600
My level 0 for this system was around 11GB and then I ran level 1 today and I used the same filename and the size was around 5 GB.
I think I figured out the issue. It looks like dump adds information in the file so it knows when the previous level occurred.
