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
or
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.
If
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 conversion 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.
