ACCTMERG(1M) ACCTMERG(1M)
NAME
acctmerg - merge or add total accounting files
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/acct/acctmerg [options] [file] . . .
DESCRIPTION
acctmerg reads its standard input and up to nine additional
files, all in the tacct format (see acct(4)) or an ASCII
version thereof. It merges these inputs by adding records
whose keys (normally user ID and name) are identical, and
expects the inputs to be sorted on those keys. Options are:
-a Produce output in ASCII version of tacct.
-i Input files are in ASCII version of tacct.
-p Print input with no processing.
-t Produce a single record that totals all input.
-u Summarize by user ID, rather than user ID and name.
-v Produce output in verbose ASCII format, with more
precise notation for floating-point numbers.
EXAMPLES
The following sequence is useful for making "repairs" to any
file kept in this format:
acctmerg -v <file1 > file2
Edit file2 as desired ...
acctmerg -i <file2 > file1
