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  correspond-
     ing  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  pass-
     word  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.
