I have a server that a set of of files are deleted each week in a specific directory. The fact it's occurring around the same time each weekend, I suspect that it's a cron process running. There are too many scripts in cron to go through so I was wondering if it's possible to enable the AIX auditing subsystem to detect when a file in a specific directory is deleted and to report who or what process removed it. If this can be done with the audit subsystem, I need help in configuring this.

Setting Up AIX Audit

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
