     acctcon(1m)                DG/UX 4.30                 acctcon(1m)



     NAME
          acctcon1, acctcon2 - connect-time accounting

     SYNOPSIS
          /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
          /usr/lib/acct/holidays   Defines non-prime hours and days

          runacct(1M), acct(2), acct(4), holidays(4), utmp(4).

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