acct(1m) DG/UX 4.30 acct(1m)
NAME
acctdisk, acctdusg, accton, acctwtmp - overview of
accounting and miscellaneous accounting commands
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/acct/acctdisk
/usr/lib/acct/acctdusg [-u file] [-p file]
/usr/lib/acct/accton [file]
/usr/lib/acct/acctwtmp "reason"
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.
