     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.
