ACCTPRC(1M) ACCTPRC(1M)
NAME
acctprc1, acctprc2 - process accounting
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/acct/acctprc1 [ctmp]
/usr/lib/acct/acctprc2
DESCRIPTION
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, in the form described
in acctcon(1M), sorted by user ID and login name. If this
file is not supplied, it obtains login names from the
password file. The information in ctmp helps it distinguish
among different login names that share the same user ID.
acctprc2 reads records in the form written by acctprc1,
summarizes them by user ID and name, then writes the sorted
summaries to the standard output as total accounting
records.
These commands are typically used as shown below:
acctprc1 ctmp </usr/adm/pacct | acctprc2 >ptacct
FILES
/etc/passwd

Although it is possible 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. More precise conversion can be done by faking
login sessions on the console via the acctwtmp program in
acct(1M).
CAVEAT
A memory segment of the mean memory size is a unit of
measure for the number of bytes in a logical memory segment
on a particular processor.
