ACCTCON(1M)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          ACCTCON(1M)



          NAME
               acctcon: acctcon1, acctcon2 - connect-time accounting

          SYNOPSIS
               /usr/lib/acct/acctcon1 [options]

               /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.  Its 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 start-
               ing date and time.  The 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 file   File is created to contain a summary of line usage
                         showing line name, number of minutes used, percen-
                         tage of total elapsed time used, number of ses-
                         sions charged, number of logins, and number of
                         logoffs.  This file helps track line usage, iden-
                         tify bad lines, and find software and hardware
                         oddities.  Hang-up, termination of login(1) and
                         termination of the login shell each generate log-
                         off records, so that the number of logoffs is
                         often three to four times the number of sessions.
                         See init(1M) and utmp(4).
               -o file   File is filled 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:

          BUGS
               The line usage report is confused by date changes.  Use
               wtmpfix [see fwtmp(1M)] to correct this situation.
