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 command 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 compatibility 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.
The process mean memory size may overflow for values
greater than
MAXINT.
