Calculating Charge Rates for Accounting

Charge rates for using server resources are speciﬁed as multipliers and

divisors. To set the charge amount to “No Charge,” enter 0 as the multiplier.

Use the following formula to calculate a charge rate:

For example, if you want to charge $200 per month for server disk storage,

and there are usually 100,000 blocks used each month on your hard drive

• 20,000 would be the multiplier ($200 in cents)

• 100,000 would be the divisor (disk block usage per month)

Therefore, users would be charged two-tenths of one cent per disk block used.

Viewing Accounting Totals

The ATOTAL utility provides a total for the accounting services used on

your network. ATOTAL compiles information from the system accounting

records and lists the following:

• Total connect time in minutes

• Total service requests

• Total blocks read

• Total blocks written

• Total disk storage in blocks per day
