audit.log: Audit Log

The audit log records commands issued manually from the MCC console, and
from MCC scripts. Outputs from all consoles for which auditing is enabled are
combined in the same Audit Log. To activate this option, edit the system.cfg file
and add a line to the console definition of each console to be audited containing

audit=yes

The audit log can be viewed only through the Unix command line.
The format of audit.log is as follows:

YYYYMMDD HHMMSS Console

User

Where YYYYMMDD=Year, Month, Date; HHMMSS=Hour, Minute, Second.
For example:

20070110 150838 MVS Console
