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/pacct

incr 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.
