auditoff(1M)                                            auditoff(1M)


       NAME
             auditoff - disable auditing

       SYNOPSIS
             auditoff

       DESCRIPTION
             The auditoff shell level command allows the administrator with
             the appropriate privileges to disable auditing.  The
             privileges required are audit and setplevel.

             The execution of auditoff while auditing is enabled will
             result in a flush of the audit buffer(s) to the audit log
             file.  Additionally, a record indicating auditing has been
             disabled will be written to the audit log file via the
             auditdmp system call.  When auditing is disabled the auditable
             events currently in progress will not have a record written to
             the audit log file since they did not complete while auditing
             was enabled.

             When the auditoff command is invoked and returns success, the
             following message will be displayed:

                   Auditing disabled

       DIAGNOSTICS
             On successful completion, the auditoff command exits with a
             value of zero (0).  If there are errors, it exits with one of
             the following values and prints the corresponding error
             message:
