acctcon(1M)                      DG/UX 5.4.2                     acctcon(1M)


NAME
       acctcon1, acctcon2 - connect-time accounting

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/acct/acctcon1 [-p] [-t] [ -l file ] [ -o file ]

       /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.  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     Create file 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     Fill file 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
