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

acct(4), utmp(4).
BUGS
The line usage report is confused by date changes. Use wtmpfix
(see fwtmp(1M)) to correct this situation.
