acctprc(ADM)                    19 June 1992                    acctprc(ADM)


 Name

    acctprc: acctprc1, acctprc2 - process accounting

 Syntax

    /usr/lib/acct/acctprc1 [ ctmp ]

    /usr/lib/acct/acctprc2

 Description

    acctprc1 reads input in the form described by acct(FP), adds login names
    corresponding to user ID, then writes, for each process, an ASCII line
    detailing 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(ADM), 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 between 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


 File

    /etc/passwd

 Notes

    Although it is possible to distinguish between login names that share
    user ID for commands run normally, it is difficult to do this for those
    commands run from cron(C), for example.  More precise conversion can be
    done by faking login sessions on the console via the acctwtmp program in
    acct(ADM).
