ACCTMERG(1M)        RISC/os Reference Manual         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 pre-
          cise 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
