DESCRIPTION
Accounting software is structured as a set of tools (consisting
of both C programs and shell procedures) that can be used to
build accounting systems. Acctsh(1M) describes the set of shell
procedures built on top of the C programs.
Connect time accounting is handled by various programs that write
records into /etc/utmp, as described in utmp(4). The programs
described in acctcon(1M) convert this file into session and
charging records, which are then summarized by acctmerg(1M).
Process accounting is performed by the DG/UX system kernel. Upon
termination of a process, one record per process is written to a
file (normally /usr/adm/pacct). The programs in acctprc(1M)
summarize this data for charging purposes; acctcms(1M) is used to
summarize command usage. Current process data may be examined
using acctcom(1).
Process accounting and connect time accounting (or any accounting
records in the format described in acct(4)) can be merged and
summarized into total accounting records by acctmerg (see tacct
format in acct(4)). Prtacct (see acctsh(1M)) is used to format
any or all accounting records.
Acctdisk reads lines that contain user ID, login name, and number
of disk blocks and converts them to total accounting records that
can be merged with other accounting records.
Acctdusg reads its standard input (usually from find / -print)
and computes disk resource consumption (including indirect
blocks) by login. If -u is given, records consisting of those
file names for which acctdusg charges no one are placed in file
(a potential source for finding users trying to avoid disk

charges). If -p is given, file is the name of the password file.
This option is not needed if the password file is /etc/passwd.
(See diskusg(1M) for more details.)
Accton alone turns process accounting off. If file is given, it
must be the name of an existing file, to which the kernel appends
process accounting records (see acct(2) and acct(4)).
Acctwtmp writes a utmp(4) record to its standard output. The
record contains the current time and a string of characters that
describe the reason. A record type of ACCOUNTING is assigned
(see utmp(4)). Reason must be a string of 11 or less characters,
numbers, $, or spaces. For example, the following are
suggestions for use in reboot and shutdown procedures,
respectively:
acctwtmp ``uname'' >> /etc/wtmp
acctwtmp ``file save'' >> /etc/wtmp
Note:
If you are using NFS, the yellow pages (YP) will be used to
convert user IDs to login names for those users not listed
in /etc/passwd.
