NAME
     acctcms  -  command  summary  from  per-process   accounting
     records

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/acct/acctcms [-a [-p] [-o]] [-c] [-j] [-n] [-s]  [-
     t] files

DESCRIPTION
     acctcms reads one  or  more  files,  normally  in  the  form
     described  in  acct(4).   It  adds all records for processes
     that executed identically-named commands,  sorts  them,  and
     writes them to the standard output, normally using an inter-
     nal summary format.  The options are:

     -a   Print output in ASCII rather than in the internal  sum-
          mary  format.  The output includes command name, number
          of  times  executed,  total  kcore-minutes,  total  CPU
          minutes, total real minutes, mean size (in K), mean CPU
          minutes  per  invocation,  "hog   factor",   characters
          transferred,   and  blocks  read  and  written,  as  in
          acctcom(1).  Output is normally sorted by total  kcore-
          minutes.
     -c   Sort by  total  CPU  time,  rather  than  total  kcore-
          minutes.
     -j   Combine  all   commands   invoked   only   once   under
          "***other".
     -n   Sort by number of command invocations.
     -s   Any filenames  encountered  hereafter  are  already  in
          internal summary format.
     -t   Process all records as total accounting  records.   The
          default  internal summary format splits each field into
          prime and non-prime time parts.  This  option  combines
          the  prime and non-prime time parts into a single field
          that is the total of both, and provides upward compati-
          bility  with  old  (i.e.,  UNIX System V) style acctcms
          internal summary format records.

     The following options may be used only with the -a option.

     -p   Output a prime-time-only command summary.

     -o   Output a non-prime (offshift) time  only  command  sum-
          mary.

     When -p and -o are used together, a  combination  prime  and
     non-prime time report is produced.  All the output summaries
     will be total usage except number  of  times  executed,  CPU
     minutes,  and  real  minutes, which will be split into prime
     and non-prime.

     A typical sequence for performing daily  command  accounting
     and for maintaining a running total is:

          acctcms file ... > today
          cp total previoustotal
          acctcms -s today previoustotal > total
          acctcms -a -s today

NOTES
     Unpredictable output results if -t  is  used  on  new  style
     internal summary format files, or if it is not used with old
     style internal summary format files.
