ACCTCON(1M)         RISC/os Reference Manual          ACCTCON(1M)



NAME
     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 reason-
            able and repeatable numbers for non-current files.

     -lfile file is created to contain a summary of line usage
            showing line name, number of minutes used, percentage
            of total elapsed time used, number of sessions
            charged, number of logins, and number of logoffs.
            This file helps track line usage, identify bad lines,
            and find software and hardware oddities. Hangup, ter-
            mination of IR login (1) and termination of the login
            shell each generate logoff records, so that the
            number of logoffs is often three to four times the
            number of sessions. See init(1M) and utmp(4).

     -ofile 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.
