acctprc2(1M)
NAME
acctprc, acctprc1, acctprc2 - process accounting
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/acct/acctprc
/usr/lib/acct/acctprc1 [ctmp]
/usr/lib/acct/acctprc2
DESCRIPTION
acctprc reads the standard input, in the form described by ,
and converts it to total accounting records (see the tacct
record in acct(3HEAD)). acctprc divides CPU time into prime
time and non-prime time and determines mean memory size (in
memory segment units). acctprc then summarizes the tacct
records, according to user IDs, and adds login names
corresponding to the user IDs. The summarized records are
then written to the standard output. acctprc1 reads input in
the form described by acct(3HEAD), 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 should contain a
list of login sessions sorted by user ID and login name. If
this file is not supplied, it obtains login names from the
password file, just as acctprc does. The information in ctmp
helps it distinguish between different login names that
share the same user ID.
From the standard input, acctprc2 reads records in the form
written by acctprc1, summarizes them according to user ID
and name, then writes the sorted summaries to the standard
output as total accounting records.

NOTES
Although it is possible for acctprc1 to distinguish among
login names that share user IDs for commands run from a com-
mand line, it is difficult for acctprc1 to make this dis-
tinction for commands invoked in other ways. A command run
from cron(1M) is an example of where acctprc1 might have
difficulty. A more precise conversion can be done using the
acctwtmp program in acct(1M). acctprc does not distinguish
between users with identical user IDs.
A memory segment of the mean memory size is a unit of meas-
ure for the number of bytes in a logical memory segment on a
particular processor.
During a single invocation of any given command, the
acctprc, acctprc1, and acctprc2 commands can process a max-
imum of
o 6000 distinct sessions
o 1000 distinct terminal lines
o 2000 distinct login names
If at some point the actual number of any one of these items
exceeds the maximum, the command will not succeed.
