No. But you can easily cobble something together to do it. BTW, "aureport -t" 
will give you the time ranges.

I suspect that will get messy. You can have a lot of information without a 
visual cue to help decipher what you are looking at. Have you played around 
with aureport ? It was intended to give something more concise, 1 event per 
line. It also gives everything you need to track down the event in the audit 
logs if you need more information.

But just in case you want to see it:

ausearch -ts 1:00:00 | grep -v 'time->' | tr '\n' ' ' | sed -e 's/----/\n/g'

to get the events since 1 am, one per line.
