NAME

acctprc, acctprc1, acctprc2 - process accounting

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/acct/acctprc

/usr/sbin/acct/acctprc1

[ ctmp

]

/usr/sbin/acct/acctprc2

DESCRIPTION

acctprc1 reads input in the form described by acct(4), adds login names corresponding to user

IDs, then

writes for each process an

ASCII line giving user

ID, login name, prime CPU time (tics), non-prime CPU time

(tics), and mean memory size (in memory segment units). If

ctmp is given, it is expected to contain a list

of login sessions in the form described in acctcon(1M), sorted by user

ID and login name. If this ﬁle is not

supplied, it obtains login names from the password ﬁle. The information in

ctmp helps it distinguish

among different login names that share the same user

ID.

acctprc2 reads records in the form written by

acctprc1, summarizes them by user ID and name, then

writes the sorted summaries to the standard output as total accounting records.

acctprc combines the functionality of

acctprc1 and acctprc2 into one program. It takes the same

input format as

acctprc1 (but does not accept the ctmp argument) and writes the same output as

acctprc2.

These commands are typically used as shown below:

acctprc1 ctmp < /var/adm/pacct | acctprc2 > ptacct

acctprc < /var/adm/pacct > ptacct

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

For the output of acctprc2, if the user IDs are identical, LC_COLLATE

determines the order in which

the user names are sorted.

LC_COLLATE is not speciﬁed in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of

LANG is

used as a default. If

LANG is not speciﬁed or is set to the empty string, a default of ‘‘C’’ (see lang(5)) is

used instead of

LANG. If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting,

acctprc2 behaves

as if all internationalization variables are set to ‘‘C’’ (see environ(5)).

WARNINGS

Although it is possible to distinguish among login names that share user

IDs for commands run normally, it

is difﬁcult to do this for those commands run from cron for example (see cron(1M)). More precise conver-

sion can be done by faking login sessions on the console via the

acctwtmp program in acct(1M).

A memory segment of the mean memory size is a unit of measure for the number of bytes in a logical

memory segment on a particular processor.

The mean memory size may overﬂow for values greater than

MAXINT.
