ctacct. mmdd Binary Specifies the connect accounting records in
tacct.h format that are obtained from the

This file is temporary and is deleted after the
daytacct file records are written for each

This file contains the output of the acctcon1
accounting command, which is called by the
runacct shell script to rewrite the wtmp file
records.
daycms
ASCII Specifies the daily command summary file. This
file is the ASCII version of the
/var/adm/acct/sum/daycms binary file. The
runacct shell script calls the prdaily shell
script, which invokes the acctcms command to
create the file.

records when the acctdisk command is called
by the dodisk shell script.

file provides line use statistics for each terminal
line used during the previous accounting period.

daemon does not call the runacct shell script
more than once during any 24-hour period. This
file is removed each day when the runacct shell
script has completed.

when the runacct script invokes the acctcon1
command.

the wtmpfix command.
