NAME
acctmerg - merge or add total accounting files
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/acct/acctmerg
[ options ][file ] ...
DESCRIPTION
acctmerg reads its standard input and up to nine additional files, all in the
tacct format (see acct (4))
or an
ASCII version thereof. It merges these inputs by adding records whose keys (normally user
ID and
name) are identical, and expects the inputs to be sorted on those keys.
Options
acctmerg recognizes the following options:
-a Produce output in
ASCII version of tacct.
-i Input files are in ASCII version of
tacct.
-p Print input with no processing.
-t Produce a single record that totals all input.
-u Summarize by user ID, rather than user ID and name.
-v Produce output in verbose ASCII format, with more precise notation for floating point
numbers.
EXAMPLES
The following sequence is useful for making ‘‘repairs’’ to any file kept in this format:
acctmerg -v < file1 > file2
edit file2 as desired ...
acctmerg -i < file2 > file1
