DESCRIPTION

acctprc1

The acctprc1 command reads records from standard input that are in the acct
format (described in AIX Operating System Technical Reference), adds the login
names that correspond to user IDs, and then writes an ASCII record to standard
output.  This record contains the user ID, login name, prime CPU time, nonprime
CPU time, the total number of characters transferred (in 512-byte units), the
total number of blocks read and written, and mean memory size (in 64-byte
units) for each process.

If specified, file contains a list of login sessions in ctmp format (described
in AIX Operating System Technical Reference), sorted by user ID and login name.
By default, acctprc1 gets login names from the password file, /etc/passwd.  The
information in file helps distinguish among different login names that share
the same user ID.

acctprc2

The acctprc2 command reads (from standard input) the records written by
acctprc1, summarizes them by user ID and name, and writes the sorted summaries
to standard output as total accounting records.

accton

The accton command without arguments turns process accounting off.  If you
specify file (the name of an existing file), the kernel adds process accounting
records to it (/usr/adm/pacct by convention).
