acctcon(1M)                                           acctcon(1M)



NAME
     acctcon1, acctcon2 - invoke connect-time accounting

SYNOPSIS
     acctcon1 [-lfile] [-ofile] [-p] [-t]

     acctcon2

ARGUMENTS
     -lfile
          Creates 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).

     -ofile
          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   Causes acctcon1 to use the last time found in its
          input, instead of the current time, thus assuring
          reasonable and repeatable numbers for noncurrent files.

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 acctcon1 command 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.

     acctcon2 reads a sequence of login sessions 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


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