Description 
When you run "audit -n" in a script followed by something which then tries to access the audit log file, it may not be available yet. "audit -n" should wait for the file to be switched before returning.

This mean that audit and auditd needs to rewritten to not use signals to indicate a log file switch, but rather use a door to communicate.
