NAME
      acctprc, acctprc1, acctprc2 - process accounting

SYNOPSIS
      /usr/lib/acct/acctprc
      /usr/lib/acct/acctprc1 [ctmp]
      /usr/lib/acct/acctprc2

DESCRIPTION
      acctprc reads standard input, in the form described by acct(4), and
      converts it to total accounting records (see the tacct record in
      acct(4)).  acctprc divides CPU time into prime time and non-prime time
      and determines mean memory size (in memory segment units).  acctprc then
      summarizes the tacct records, according to user IDs, and adds login names
      corresponding to the user IDs.  The summarized records are then written
      to standard output.  acctprc1 reads input in the form described by
      acct(4), adds login names corresponding to user IDs, then writes for each
      process an ASCII line giving user ID, login name, prime CPU time (tics),
      non-prime CPU time (tics), and mean memory size (in memory segment
      units).  If ctmp is given, it is expected to contain a list of login
      sessions sorted by user ID and login name.  If this file is not supplied,
      it obtains login names from the password file, just as acctprc does.  The
      information in ctmp helps it distinguish between different login names
      sharing the same user ID.

      From standard input, acctprc2 reads records in the form written by
      acctprc1, summarizes them according to user ID and name, then writes the
      sorted summaries to the standard output as total accounting records.

EXAMPLES
      The acctprc command is typically used as shown below:

            acctprc < /var/adm/pacct > ptacct

      The acctprc1 and acctprc2 commands are typically used as shown below:

            acctprc1 ctmp </var/adm/pacct | acctprc2 >ptacct

FILES
      /etc/passwd

NOTES
      Although it is possible for acctprc1 to distinguish among login names
      that share user IDs for commands run normally, it is difficult to do this
      for those commands run from cron(1M), for example.  A more precise
      conversion can be done using the acctwtmp program in acct(1M).  acctprc

      number of bytes in a logical memory segment on a particular processor.
