Building Profiles via the
Command Line
Novell® AppArmor provides the ability to use a command line interface rather than a
graphical interface to manage and configure your system security. Track the status of
Novell AppArmor, create, delete or modify Novell AppArmor profiles using the Novell
AppArmor command line tools.
TIP: For More Information
Before starting to manage your profiles using the AppArmor command line
tools, check out the general introduction to AppArmor given in
Chapter 1,
Immunizing Programs
(page 9) and
Chapter 2, Profile Components and Syntax
(page 19).
