        SYNTAX

        /usr/lib/acct/acctcon1 [options]

        /usr/lib/acct/acctcon2


        DESCRIPTION

        Acctcon1 converts a sequence of login/logoff records read from
        its standard input to a sequence of records, one per login
        session.  This command's input should normally be redirected from
        /etc/wtmp.  Its output is ASCII, giving device, user ID, login
        name, prime connect time (seconds), non-prime connect time
        (seconds), session starting time (numeric), and starting date and
        time.  The options are:

        -p        Print input only, showing 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 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.  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.
        -l file   File is created to contain a summary of line usage
                  showing 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
                  helps track line usage, identify bad lines, and find
                  software and hardware oddities.  Hang-up, termination
                  of login(1) and termination of the login shell each
                  generate logoff records, so that the number of logoffs
                  is often three to four times the number of sessions.
                  See init(1M) and utmp(4).
        -o file   File is filled with an overall record for the
                  accounting period, giving starting time, ending time,
                  number of reboots, and number of date changes.

        Acctcon2 expects as input a sequence of login session records and
        converts them into total accounting records (see tacct format in
        acct(4)).

        EXAMPLES

        These commands are typically used as shown below.  The file ctmp
        is created only for the use of acctprc(1M) commands:

        acctcon1 -t -l lineuse -o reboots </etc/wtmp | sort +1n +2 >ctmp
        acctcon2 <ctmp | acctmerg >ctacct


        FILES

        /etc/wtmp


        SEE ALSO

        acctsh(1M), fwtmp(1M), init(1M), login(1), runacct(1M), acct(2),
        acct(4), utmp(4).


        BUGS

        The line usage report is confused by date changes.  Use wtmpfix
        (see fwtmp(1M)) to correct this situation.
