I was thinking to correlate them based on the time and pid. If its within the 
time range between startup/shutdown and its the same pid, then you have the 
event correlated. If its outside the time range or a different pid, then you do 
not have correlation. I would not look at selinux label because not all 
systems/distros have it enabled or compiled in. So, pid and time are the most 
universal identifiers for correlation.
