acctprc(1M) acctprc(1M)
NAME
acctprc, acctprc1, acctprc2 - process accounting
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/acct/acctprc
/usr/lib/acct/acctprc1 [ctmp]
/usr/lib/acct/acctprc2
DESCRIPTION
acctprc reads standard input, in the form described by acct(4), and
converts it to total accounting records (see the tacct record in
acct(4)). acctprc divides CPU time into prime time and non-prime
time and determines mean memory size (in memory segment units).
acctprc then summarizes the tacct records, according to user IDs, and
adds login names corresponding to the user IDs. The summarized
records are then written to standard output. acctprc1 reads input in
the form described by acct(4), adds login names corresponding to user
IDs, then writes for each process an ASCII line giving user ID, login
name, prime CPU time (tics), non-prime CPU time (tics), and mean
memory size (in memory segment units). If ctmp is given, it is
expected to contain a list of login sessions sorted by user ID and
login name. If this file is not supplied, it obtains login names
from the password file, just as acctprc does. The information in
ctmp helps it distinguish between different login names sharing the
same user ID.
From standard input, acctprc2 reads records in the form written by
acctprc1, summarizes them according to user ID and name, then writes
the sorted summaries to the standard output as total accounting
records.
EXAMPLES
The acctprc command is typically used as shown below:
acctprc < /var/adm/pacct > ptacct
The acctprc1 and acctprc2 commands are typically used as shown below:
acctprc1 ctmp </var/adm/pacct | acctprc2 >ptacct
FILES
/etc/passwd

NOTES
Although it is possible for acctprc1 to distinguish among login names
that share user IDs for commands run normally, it is difficult to do
this for those commands run from cron(1M), for example. A more
precise conversion can be done using the acctwtmp program in
acct(1M). acctprc does not distinguish between users with identical
user IDs.
A memory segment of the mean memory size is a unit of measure for the
number of bytes in a logical memory segment on a particular
processor.
