          accounting commands

          /usr/lib/acct/acctdisk

          /usr/lib/acct/acctdusg [-p file] [-u file]

     DESCRIPTION
        Overview
          Accounting software is a set of tools (both C programs and
          shell procedures) that build accounting systems.  acctsh(1M)
          describes the shell procedures built on top of the C pro-
          grams.

          Connect-time accounting is handled by programs writing
          records into /etc/utmp, (described in utmp(4)).  acctcon(1M)
          describes programs converting /etc/utmp into session and
          charging records, which acctmerg(1M) then summarizes.

          The A/UX system kernel performs process accounting.  When a
          process terminates, one record per process is written to a
          file (normally /usr/adm/pacct).  The programs in acctprc(1M)
          summarize this data for charging; acctcms(1M) summarizes
          command use.  You can examine current process data with
          acctcom(1).

          acctmerg merges and summarizes process accounting and con-
          nect time accounting (or any accounting records in the for-
          mat described in acct(4)) into total accounting records (see
          tacct format in acct(4)).  prtacct (see acctsh(1M)) formats
          accounting records.

        acctdisk
          acctdisk reads lines containing user ID, login name, and
          number of disk blocks and converts them to total accounting
          records that can be merged with other accounting records.

        acctdusg
          acctdusg reads its standard input (usually from find -print)
          and computes consumption of disk resource (including in-
          direct blocks) by login.

          -p file
               use a password file other than /etc/passwd (see
               diskusg(1M)).

     acct(1M)                                                 acct(1M)



          -ufile
               place records acctdusg doesn't charge anyone for in
               file.  This is potential way to find users trying to
               avoid disk charges.

        accton
          Typing accton turns process accounting off.

          file append process accounting records to this existing file
               (see acct(2) and acct(4)).

        acctwtmp
          acctwtmp writes a utmp(4) record containing the time and a
          reason to its standard output.  The record written will be
          of type ACCOUNTING (see utmp(4)).

          reason
               a string of up to 11 characters, numbers, $, or spaces.
               For example, the following are suggestions for reboot
               and shutdown procedures, respectively:

                  acctwtmp `uname` >> /etc/wtmp
                  acctwtmp "file save" >> /etc/wtmp
