[PATCH] Abnormal End of Processes
Hi, I have been working on some code that detects abnormal events based on audit system events. One kind of event that we currently have no visibility for is when a program terminates due to segfault - which should never happen on a production machine. And if it did, you'd want to investigate it. Attached is a patch that collects these events and sends them into the audit system.
