NAME
acctcom - search and print process accounting file(s)
SYNOPSIS
acctcom [-a] [-b] [-C sec] [-e time] [-E time] [-f]
[-g group] [-h] [-H factor] [-i] [-I chars] [-k] [-l line]
[-m] [-n pattern] [-o ofile] [-O sec] [-q] [-r] [-s time]
[-S time] [-t] [-u user] [-v] [file] ...
DESCRIPTION
acctcom reads file, the standard input, or /usr/adm/pacct,
in the form described by acct(4) and writes selected records
to the standard output. Each record represents the
execution of one process. The output shows:
COMMAND NAME
USER
TTYNAME
START TIME
END TIME
REAL (SEC)
CPU (SEC)
MEAN SIZE (K)
and optionally,
F STAT
HOG FACTOR
KCORE MIN
CPU FACTOR
CHARS TRNSFD
BLOCKS READ
where F is the fork/exec flag: 1 for fork without exec, STAT
is the system exit status, and BLOCKS READ is the total
blocks read and written.
The command name has a # inserted in front of it if it was
executed with super-user privileges. If a process is not
associated with a known terminal, a ? is printed in the
TTYNAME field.
If no files are specified, and if the standard input is
associated with a terminal or /dev/null (as is the case when
using & in the shell), /usr/adm/pacct is read; otherwise,
the standard input is read.
If any file arguments are given, they are read in their
respective order. Each file is normally read forward, i.e.,
in chronological order by process completion time. The file
/usr/adm/pacct is usually the current file to be examined; a
busy system may need several such files, of which all but
the current file are found in /usr/adm/pacct?. The flag
options are:

acctcom(1M) acctcom(1M)
-a Show some average statistics about the processes
selected. The statistics will be printed after
the output records.
-b Read backwards, showing latest commands first.
This option has no effect when the standard
input is read.
-C sec Show only processes with total CPU time, system
plus user, exceeding sec seconds.
-e time Select processes existing at or before time,
given in the format hr[:min[:sec]].
-E time Select processes ending at or before time.
Using the same time for both -S and -E shows the
processes that existed at time.
-f Print the fork/exec flag and system exit status
columns in the output.
-g group Show only processes belonging to group. The
group may be designated by either the group ID
or group name.
-h Instead of mean memory size, show the fraction
of total available CPU time consumed by the
process during its execution. This hog factor
is computed as:
(total-CPU-time)/(elapsed-time).
-H factor Show only processes that exceed factor, where
factor is the hog factor, as explained in option
-h, above.
-i Print columns containing the I/O counts in the
output.
-I chars Show only processes transferring more characters
than the cut-off number given by chars.
-k Instead of memory size, show total kcore-
minutes.
-lline Show only processes belonging to terminal
/dev/line.
-m Show mean core size (the default).
-n pattern Show only commands matching pattern. pattern
may be a regular expression as in ed(1), except
that + means one or more occurrences.
-o ofile Copy selected process records in the input data
format to ofile; suppress standard output
printing.
-O sec Show only processes with CPU system time
exceeding sec seconds.
-q Do not print any output records, just print the
average statistics as with the -a option.
-r Show CPU factor (user-time)/(system-time +
user-time).
-s time Select processes existing at or after time,
given in the format hr[:min[:sec]].
-S time Select processes starting at or after time.
-t Show separate system and user CPU times.
-v Exclude column headings from the output.

-uuser Show only processes belonging to user that may
be specified by: a user ID, a login name that is
then converted to a user ID, a # which
designates only those processes executed with
super-user privileges, or ? which designates
only those processes associated with unknown
user IDs.
acctcom reports only on processes that have terminated; use
ps(1) for active processes.

BUGS
If time exceeds the present time, then time is interpreted
as occurring on the previous day.
