acct(1M)                         DG/UX 5.4.2                        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.
