     DESCRIPTION
          You can invoke chargefee to charge a number of units to
          login-name.  A record is written to /usr/adm/fee, to be
          merged with other accounting records during the night.

          Initiate ckpacct via cron(1M).  It periodically checks the
          size of /usr/adm/pacct.  If the size exceeds blocks, 1000 by
          default, turnacct is invoked with argument switch.  If the
          number of free disk blocks in the /usr file system falls
          below 500, ckpacct automatically turns off the collection of
          process accounting records via the off argument to turnacct.
          When at least 500 blocks are restored, accounting is
          reactivated.  This feature is sensitive to the frequency at
          which ckpacct is executed, usually by cron.

          Invoke dodisk by cron to perform the disk accounting
          functions.  The disk accounting functions keep track of disk
          usage by user.  By default, disk accounting is performed on
          special files in /etc/fstab.

          Lastlogin is invoked by runacct (see runacct(1M)) to update
          /usr/adm/acct/sum/loginlog, which shows the last date each

          person logged in.

          Invoke monacct once each month or each accounting period.
          Number indicates which month or period it is.  If you omit
          number, it defaults to the current month (01-12).  This
          default is useful if monacct is executed via cron(1M) on the
          first day of each month.  Monacct creates summary files in
          /usr/adm/acct/fiscal and restarts summary files in
          /usr/adm/acct/sum.

          Nulladm creates file with mode 664 and ensures that owner
          and group are adm.  It is called by accounting shell
          procedures.

          Prctmp prints the session record file (normally
          /usr/adm/acct/nite/ctmp) created by acctcon(1M).

          Prdaily is invoked by runacct (see runacct(1M)) to format a
          report of the previous day's accounting data.  The report
          resides in /usr/adm/acct/sum/rprtmmdd, where mmdd is the
          month and day of the report.  You can print the current
          daily accounting reports by typing prdaily.  To print a
          previous day's accounting reports, use the mmdd option and
          specify the report date.

          Prtacct formats and prints any total accounting (tacct)
          file.

          During a system shutdown, you should invoke shutacct to turn
          process accounting off and append a ``reason'' record to
          /etc/wtmp.

          Startup is called by /usr/sbin/init.d/rc.account when the
          system is brought up, if the accountSTART variable has been
          set correctly.  You must set the accountSTART shell
          variable in /etc/dgux.params to "true" to have accounting
          started by rc.account.

          Turnacct is an interface to accton (see acct(1M)) to turn
          process accounting on or off.  The switch argument turns
          accounting off, moves the current /usr/adm/pacct to the next
          free name in /usr/adm/pacctincr, then turns accounting back
          on again.  Incr is a number starting with 1 and increasing
          by one for each additional pacct file.  Since ckpacct calls
          this procedure, cron can maintain it and keep pacct to a
          reasonable size.  Accordingly, acct starts and stops process
          accounting via init and shutdown.
