V- Step 3: test it!:

In my fcheck.cfg file I just wanted to check on the /etc/ directory so I am going to modify a file (rpc)
and add a hidden .file and then run the fcheck on compare mode:
The last step produced a database /usr/local/fcheck/sol.dbf holding infos or snapshots on the /etc/ directory:
So lets fcheck in compare mode :

1) - we are going to run fcheck with verbose (nothing in logs):

[root@linux2 /etc]# /usr/local/fcheck/fcheck -adsx

PROGRESS: validating integrity of Files
    STATUS:

we can see that we have a new creation of a file .file and we have 2 modified files ........
2) - lets do the same with logs option "l" in the command line:

 [root@linux2 /etc]# /usr/local/fcheck/fcheck -adsxl

After this when I checked my logs I had those three lines.
