Thanks, this looks handy, I have tried it, but how do you avoid AIDE following symbolic links into these excluded paths? I have noticed that the "aide --init" is working with files in excluded paths per the "watch -n 1 lsof -p aidepidhere" command output. That excluded path I have in /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/00_local_excludes
