Installation guide

In the following example, the runacct shell script is invoked at its
MERGE state and uses the accounting database files from January 26:
# runacct 0126 MERGE > /var/adm/nite/fd2log&
The following example invokes the runacct shell script, which uses the
accounting database files from January 26 and specifies the nohup
command so that signals, hangups, logouts, and quits are disregarded; any
error messages generated during its execution are written to the fd2log
file:
# nohup runacct 0126 > /var/adm/acct/nite/fd2log&
