NAME

holidays − prime/nonprime table for the accounting system

SYNOPSIS

/etc/acct/holidays

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/acct/holidays file describes which hours are considered prime time and which days are holidays.  Holidays and weekends are considered non-prime time hours.  /etc/acct/holidays is used by the accounting system. 

All lines beginning with an "∗" are comments. 

The /etc/acct/holidays file consists of two sections.  The first non-comment line defines the current year and the start time of prime and non-prime time hours, in the form:

current_year prime_start non_prime_start

The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form:

month/daycompany_holiday

Of these two fields, only the month/day is actually used by the accounting system programs. 

The /etc/acct/holidays file must be updated each year.
