                 or the totals which follow the report.

       -m mm     Display the report for a specific month where mm is the
                 month number.  Default is to display the cumulative report
                 for the current period.

                 operation.  This mode is enabled by default.

EXAMPLES
       To start system accounting, use

            admaccounting -o start

       To get a report of the 30 most time-consuming commands run on the
       system, use

            admaccounting -o list -r cmd -l 30 -v


FILES
       /etc/log/account.rclock
                             Lock file that indicates whether system
                             accounting is enabled.

DIAGNOSTICS
   Warnings
       A warning message is printed on an attempt to start the accounting
       system if it is already started, or to stop it if it is not running.

   Errors
       The accounting system may produce error indications.  See the
       accounting system documentation for descriptions of error conditions.

   Exit Codes
        0     The operation was successful.

        1     The operation was unsuccessful.

        2     The operation failed due to access restrictions.

        3     There was an error in the command line.

SEE ALSO
       acct(1M), acctcms(1M), acctsh(1M), prtacct(1M), sysadm(1M).

NOTES
       Only the superuser may start or stop the accounting system.

       The behavior of the start, stop, and check operations is unreliable
       if you start or stop accounting by using startup(1M) or turnacct(1M)
       directly.

       If the -d and -m options are both used, -d supersedes -m.  If more
       than one date (or month) is specified with the -d (or -m option), the
       last specification will be the one used.
