NAME
acctcms - command summary from per-process accounting records
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/acct/acctcms [options ] files
DESCRIPTION
acctcms reads one or more files, normally in the form described in acct(4). It adds all records for
processes that executed identically-named commands, sorts them, and writes them to the standard output,
normally using an internal summary format.
Options
acctcms recognizes the following options:
-a Print output in ASCII rather than in the internal summary format. The output includes com-
mand name, number of times executed, total kcore-minutes, total CPU minutes, total real
minutes, mean size (in K), mean CPU minutes per invocation, ‘‘hog factor’’, characters
transferred, and blocks read and written, as in acctcom(1M). Output is normally sorted by
total kcore-minutes.
-c Sort by total CPU time, rather than total kcore-minutes.
-j Combine all commands invoked only once under ***other.
-n Sort by number of command invocations.
-s Any file names encountered hereafter are already in internal summary format.
-t Process all records as total accounting records. The default internal summary format splits
each field into prime- and non-prime-time parts. This option combines the prime and non-
prime time parts into a single field that is the total of both, and provides upward compatibil-
ity with old (i.e., UNIX System V) style acctcms internal summary format records.
The following options can be used only with the -a option.
-p Output a prime-time-only command summary.
-o Output a non-prime- (offshift) time only command summary.
When -p and -o are used together, a combination prime and non-prime time report is produced. All the
output summaries are total usage except number of times executed, CPU minutes, and real minutes which
are split into prime and non-prime.
EXAMPLES
A typical sequence for performing daily command accounting and for maintaining a running total is:
acctcms file ... >today
cp total previoustotal
acctcms -s today previoustotal >total
acctcms -a -s today
WARNINGS
Unpredictable output results if -t
is used on new-style internal-summary-format files, or if it is not used
with old style internal summary format files.
