NAME
     acctcom - search and print process accounting file(s)

SYNOPSIS
     acctcom [options] [file . . . ]

DESCRIPTION
     acctcom reads file, the standard input, or /var/adm/pacct in the form
     described by acct(4) and writes selected records to the standard output.
     Each record represents the execution of one process.  The output shows
     the COMMAND NAME, USER, TTYNAME, START TIME, END TIME, REAL (SEC), CPU
     (SEC), MEAN SIZE (K) (see -m option below), and, optionally, F (the
     fork/exec flag:  1 for fork without exec), STAT (the system exit status),
     HOG FACTOR, KCORE MIN (see -k option below), CPU FACTOR, CHARS TRNSFD,
     and BLOCKS READ (total blocks read and written).

     A # is prefixed to the command name if the command was executed by a
     privileged user.  If a process is not associated with a known terminal, a
     ? is printed in the TTYNAME field.

     If no files are specified, and if the standard input is associated with a
     terminal or /dev/null (as is the case when using & in the shell),
     /var/adm/pacct is read; otherwise, the standard input is read.

     If any file arguments are given, they are read in their respective order.
     Each file is normally read forward, that is, in chronological order by
     process completion time.  The file /var/adm/pacct is usually the current
     file to be examined; a busy system may need several such files of which
     all but the current file are found in /var/adm/pacct incr.

     The options are

     -a		 Show some average statistics about the processes selected.
		 The statistics will be printed after the output records.

     -b		 Read backward, showing latest commands first.	This option
		 has no effect when the standard input is read.

     -f		 Print the fork/exec flag and system exit status columns in
		 the output.  The numeric output for this option will be in
		 octal.

     -h		 Instead of mean memory size, show the fraction of total
		 available CPU time consumed by the process during its
		 execution.  This ``hog factor'' is computed as (total
		 CPU time)/(elapsed time).

     -i		 Print columns containing the I/O counts in the output.

     -k		 Instead of memory size, show total kcore-minutes, which is
		 the average resident set size of the process (in KB) if its
		 execution time is normalized to one minute.  This is computed
		 by keeping a cumulative sum of the process's resident set
		 size (the process's current resident set size is added to the
		 sum HZ times a second).  This sum is converted to KB and then
		 divided by 60*HZ to yield kcore-minutes.

     -m		 Show mean core size (the default).  This is average resident
		 set size of the process (in KB) during its execution.	It is
		 computed by taking the cumulative resident set size (as
		 computed for the -k option) and dividing it by the sum of the
		 system and user CPU times.

     -r		 Show CPU factor (user-time/(system-time + user-time)).

     -t		 Show separate system and user CPU times.

     -v		 Exclude column headings from the output.

     -l line	 Show only processes belonging to terminal /dev/line.

     -u user	 Show only processes belonging to user that may be specified
		 by a user ID, a login name that is then converted to a user
		 ID, a # that designates only those processes executed by a
		 privileged user, or a ?  that designates only those processes
		 associated with unknown user IDs.  The # and the ? should be
		 typed as \# and \?, respectively, to prevent the shell from
		 interpreting the # as the start of a comment or the ? as a
		 pattern.

     -g group	 Show only processes belonging to the group.  The group may be
		 designated by either the group ID or the group name.

     -s time	 Select processes existing at or after time, given in the
		 format hr[:min[:sec]].

     -e time	 Select processes existing at or before time.

     -S time	 Select processes starting at or after time.

     -E time	 Select processes ending at or before time.  Using the same
		 time for both -S and -E shows the processes that existed at
		 time.

     -n pattern	 Show only commands matching pattern that may be a regular
		 expression, as in regcmp(3G).

     -q		 Do not print any output records, just print the average
		 statistics, as with the -a option.

     -o ofile	 Copy selected process records in the input data format to
		 ofile; suppress printing to standard output.

     -H factor	 Show only processes that exceed factor, where factor is the
		 ``hog factor'' as explained in option -h above.

     -O sec	 Show only processes with CPU system time exceeding sec
		 seconds.

     -C sec	 Show only processes with total CPU time (system-time + user-
		 time) exceeding sec seconds.

     -I chars	 Show only processes transferring more characters than the
		 cutoff number given by chars.

FILES
     /etc/passwd
     /var/adm/pacctincr
     /etc/group

NOTICES
     acctcom reports only on processes that have terminated; use ps(1) for
     active processes.

     If time exceeds the present time, then time is interpreted as occurring
     on the previous day.
