NAME

pac − printer/plotter accounting information

SYNOPSIS

/usr/etc/pac [ −cps ] [ −Pprinter ] [ −pprice ] [ filename... ]

DESCRIPTION

pac reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster devices) of paper consumed by each user, and printing out how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars.  If any filenames are specified, then statistics are only printed for those users; usually, statistics are printed for every user who has used any paper. 

OPTIONS

−c Sorted the output by cost; usually the output is sorted alphabetically by name. 

−pprice
Use the value price for the cost in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02. 

−r Reverse the sorting order. 

−s Summarize the accounting information on the summary accounting file; this summary is necessary since on a busy system, the accounting file can grow by several lines per day. 

−Pprinter
Do accounting for the named printer. Normally, accounting is done for the default printer (site dependent) or the value of the PRINTER environment variable is used. 

FILES

/var/adm/?acct raw accounting files

/var/adm/?_sum summary accounting files

BUGS

The relationship between the computed price and reality is as yet unknown.
