     NAME
          acctdisk, acctdusg, accton, acctwtmp - overview of
          accounting and miscellaneous accounting commands

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/lib/acct/acctdisk

          /usr/lib/acct/acctdusg [-p file] [-u file]

          /usr/lib/acct/accton [file]

          /usr/lib/acct/acctwtmp reason

     DESCRIPTION
        Overview
          Accounting software is a set of tools (both C programs and
          shell procedures) that build accounting systems.  acctsh(1M)
          describes the shell procedures built on top of the C
          programs.

          Connect-time accounting is handled by programs writing
          records into /etc/utmp, (described in utmp(4)).  acctcon(1M)
          describes programs converting /etc/utmp into session and
          charging records, which acctmerg(1M) then summarizes.

          The Oreo system kernel performs process accounting.  When a
          process terminates, one record per process is written to a
          file (normally /usr/adm/pacct).  The programs in acctprc(1M)
          summarize this data for charging; acctcms(1M) summarizes
          command use.  You can examine current process data with
          acctcom(1).

          acctmerg merges and summarizes process accounting and
          connect time accounting (or any accounting records in the
          format described in acct(4)) into total accounting records
          (see tacct format in acct(4)).  prtacct (see acctsh(1M))
          formats accounting records.

        acctdisk
          acctdisk reads lines containing user ID, login name, and
          number of disk blocks and converts them to total accounting
          records that can be merged with other accounting records.

        acctdusg
          acctdusg reads its standard input (usually from find -print)
          and computes consumption of disk resource (including
          indirect blocks) by login.

          -p file
               use a password file other than /etc/passwd (see
               diskusg(1M)).

          -ufile
               place records acctdusg doesn't charge anyone for in
               file.  This is potential way to find users trying to
               avoid disk charges.

        accton
          Typing accton turns process accounting off.

          file append process accounting records to this existing file
               (see acct(2) and acct(4)).

        acctwtmp
          acctwtmp writes a utmp(4) record containing the time a and a
          reason to its standard output.

          reason
               a string of up to 11 characters, numbers, $, or spaces.

          Assigns a record type of ACCOUNTING (see utmp(4)).  For
          example, the following are suggestions for reboot and
          shutdown procedures, respectively:

               acctwtmp `uname` >> /etc/wtmp
               acctwtmp "file save" >> /etc/wtmp

     FILES
          /usr/lib/acct/acctdisk
          /usr/lib/acct/acctdusg
          /usr/lib/acct/accton
          /usr/lib/acct/acctwtmp
          /etc/passwd

          used to convert login name to user ID

          /usr/lib/acct     holds accounting commands listed in this
                            section of the manual

          /usr/adm/pacct    current process accounting file

          /etc/wtmp         login/logoff history file
