After experiencing db corruption I got the following in the report mail:
Output of the daily AIDE run:
Not enough parameters in db:12879. Trying to continue.
Newline exptexted in database. Readin until end of line
Skipped value 0
db_char2line():Error while reading database
AIDE produced no errors.
Looks a bit strange to tell me there are no errors. As it seems this
stems from aide not properly outputting errors to stderr, but to
stdout instead.

Hi Richard,

Yes, that "no errors" comes from our cron job and is printed if aide
exited with a zero exit code _AND_ didn't have any stderr output.
The real issue is that aide exists with a zero exit code even if the
database was corrupted, and that the error message indicating database
corruption is printed to stdout instead of stderr, which makes it
pretty hard to detect from the calling script whether there has been a
serious problem with aide itself.
Current aide seems to correctly issue a non-zero exit code, so this
bug is kind of fixed in aide 0.10.
Do you plan to better seperate stdout and stderr in the future?
Greetings
Marc
