NAME

acctprc1, acctprc2 − process accounting

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/acct/acctprc1 [ctmp]

/usr/lib/acct/acctprc2

DESCRIPTION

acctprc1 reads input in the form described by acct(4), adds login names corresponding to user ID s, then writes for each process an ASCII line giving 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(1M), 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 among 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

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

For the output of acctprc2, if the user ID s are identical, LC_COLLATE determines the order in which the user names are sorted. 

If LC_COLLATE is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of LANG is used as a default.  If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of “C” (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG.  If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, acctprc2 behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to “C” (see environ(5)).

WARNINGS

Although it is possible to distinguish among login names that share user ID s for commands run normally, it is difficult to do this for those commands run from cron for example (see cron(1M)). More precise conversion can be done by faking login sessions on the console via the acctwtmp program in acct(1M).

A memory segment of the mean memory size is a unit of measure for the number of bytes in a logical memory segment on a particular processor.
