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
