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
     acct(4),  and  converts  it to total accounting records (see
     the tacct record in acct(4)). 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(4), adds login names  correspond-
     ing  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 dis-
     tinguish 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.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Examples of acctprc.

     The acctprc command is typically used as shown below:

     example% acctprc < /var/adm/pacct > ptacct

     The acctprc1 and acctprc2s commands are  typically  used  as
     shown below:

     example% acctprc1 ctmp </var/adm/pacct
     example% acctprc2 > ptacct

FILES
     /etc/passwd
           system password file

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.
