acctcon(1M)                                           acctcon(1M)



     NAME
          acctcon1, acctcon2 - connect-time accounting

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/lib/acct/acctcon1 [-lfile] [-ofile] [-p] [-t]

          /usr/lib/acct/acctcon2

     DESCRIPTION
          acctcon1 reads a sequence of login/logoff records from its
          standard input (redirected from /etc/wtmp) and converts them
          to a sequence of records, one per login session, giving the
          following ASCII output: device, user ID, login name, prime
          connect time (seconds), non-prime connect time (seconds),
          session starting time (numeric), and starting date and time.
          The flag options are:

          -l file   create file showing the following line usage
                    summary: line name, number of minutes used,
                    percentage of total elapsed time used, number of
                    sessions charged, number of logins, and number of
                    logoffs.  This file tracks line usage, identifies
                    bad lines, and finds software and hardware
                    oddities.  Hanging-up, terminating login(1), and
                    terminating the login shell each generate logoff
                    records, so the number of logoffs is often three
                    to four times the number of sessions.  See
                    init(1M) and utmp(4).

          -o file   fills file with an overall record for the
                    accounting period: starting time, ending time,
                    number of reboots, and number of date changes.

          -p        print input only: line name, login name, and time
                    (in both numeric and date/time formats).

          -t        acctcon1 maintains a list of lines on which users
                    are logged in.  When it reaches the end of its
                    input, it emits a session record for each line
                    that still appears to be active.  It normally
                    assumes that its input is a current file, so that
                    it uses the current time as the ending time for
                    each session still in progress.  The -t flag
                    causes it to use, instead, the last time found in
                    its input, thus assuring reasonable and repeatable
                    numbers for non-current files.

          acctcon2 reads a sequence of login session and converts them
          into total accounting records (see tacct format in acct(4)).

     EXAMPLE
          These commands are typically used as shown below.  The file

          ctmp is created only for acctprc(1M) commands:

          acctcon1 -t -l lineuse -o reboots < wtmp | sort +1n +2 >
          ctmp
          acctcon2 < ctmp | acctmerg > ctacct

     FILES
          /usr/lib/acct/acctcon1
          /usr/lib/acct/acctcon2
          /etc/wtmp

     BUGS
          Date changes confuse the line usage report.  Use wtmpfix
          (see fwtmp(1M)) to correct this.
