DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
chargefee Can be invoked to charge a number of units to login-
name. A record is written to /var/adm/fee, to be
merged with other accounting records during the night.
ckpacct Should be initiated via cron(1M). It periodically
checks the size of /var/adm/pacct. If the size exceeds
blocks, 1000 by default, turnacct is invoked with
argument switch. If the number of free disk blocks in
the /var file system falls below 500, ckpacct
automatically turns off the collection of process
accounting records via the off argument to turnacct.
When at least this number of blocks is restored, the
accounting will be activated again. This feature is
sensitive to the frequency at which ckpacct is
executed, usually by cron.
dodisk Should be invoked by cron to perform the disk
accounting functions. By default, it will do disk
accounting on the special files in /etc/fstab. If the
-o flag is used, it does a slower version of disk

accounting by login directory. files specifies the one
or more filesystem names where disk accounting is to be
done. If files is used, disk accounting will be done
on these filesystems only. If the -o flag is used,
files should be mount points of mounted filesystem. If
omitted, they should be the special file names of
mountable filesystems.
lastlogin Invoked by runacct to update /var/adm/acct/sum/loginlog
which shows the last date on which each user logged in
(see runacct(1M)).
monacct Should be invoked once each month or each accounting
period. number indicates which month or period it is.
If number is not given, it defaults to the current
month (01 through 12). This default is useful if
monacct is to executed via cron on the first day of
each month. monacct creates summary files in
/var/adm/acct/fiscal and restarts summary files in
/var/adm/acct/sum.
nulladm Creates file with mode 664 and ensures that owner and
group are adm. It is called by various accounting
shell procedures.
prctmp Can be used to print the session record file normally
/var/adm/acct/nite/ctmp created by acctcon1 (see
acctcon(1M)).
prdaily Invoked by runacct (see runacct(1M)) to format a report
of the previous day's accounting data. The report
resides in /var/adm/acct/sum/rprtmmdd where mmdd is the
month and day of the report. The current daily
accounting reports may be printed by typing prdaily.
Previous days' accounting reports can be printed by
using the mmdd option and specifying the exact report
date desired. The -l flag prints a report of
exceptional usage by login id for the specifed date.
Previous daily reports are cleaned up and therefore
inaccessible after each invocation of monacct. The -c
flag prints a report of exceptional resource usage by
command, and can be used on current day's accounting
data only.
prtacct Can be used to format and print any total accounting
(tacct) file.
shutacct Should be invoked during a system shutdown to turn
process accounting off and append a ``reason'' record
to /var/adm/wtmp.

startup Should be called by system startup scripts to turn the
accounting on whenever the system is brought up.
turnacct An interface to accton (see acct(1M)) to turn process
accounting on or off. The switch argument turns
accounting off, moves the current /var/adm/pacct to the
next free name in /var/adm/pacctincr then turns
accounting back on again. (incr is a number starting
with 1 and incrementing by one for each additional
pacct file.) turnacct is called by ckpacct, and thus
can be run under cron and used to keep pacct to a
reasonable size.
