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), nonprime 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 sum-
                    mary:  line name, number of minutes used, percen-
                    tage of total elapsed time used, number of ses-
                    sions charged, number of logins, and number of
                    logoffs.  This file tracks line usage, identifies
                    bad lines, and finds software and hardware oddi-
                    ties.  Hanging-up, terminating login(1), and ter-
                    minating 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 account-
                    ing 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 in-
                    put, 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 ses-
                    sion 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
          /usr/lib/acct/holidays

     SEE ALSO
          acctcom(1), login(1), acct(1M), acctcms(1M), acctmerg(1M),
          acctprc(1M), acctsh(1M), fwtmp(1M), runacct(1M), init(1M),
          acct(2), acct(4), utmp(4).

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