acctcon(1M)		System Administration Commands		   acctcon(1M)

NAME
       acctcon, acctcon1, acctcon2 - connect-time accounting

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/acct/acctcon [-l lineuse] [-o reboot]

       /usr/lib/acct/acctcon1 [-p] [-t] [-l lineuse] [-o reboot]

       /usr/lib/acct/acctcon2

DESCRIPTION
       acctcon converts a sequence of login/logoff records to total accounting
       records (see the	 tacct	format	in  acct.h(3HEAD)).  The  login/logoff
       records	are read from standard input.  The file /var/adm/wtmpx is usu‐
       ally the source of the login/logoff records; however, because it	 might
       contain	corrupted  records  or system date changes, it should first be
       fixed using wtmpfix. The fixed version of file /var/adm/wtmpx can  then
       be  redirected  to  acctcon.  The tacct records are written to standard
       output.

       acctcon is a combination of the programs acctcon1 and  acctcon2.	 acct‐
       con1 converts login/logoff records, taken from the fixed /var/adm/wtmpx
       file, to ASCII output. acctcon2 reads the  ASCII	 records  produced  by
       acctcon1	 and converts them to tacct records. acctcon1 can be used with
       the -l and -o options, described below, as well as with the -p  and  -t
       options.

OPTIONS
       -p	       Print  input  only,  showing line name, login name, and
		       time (in both numeric and date/time formats).

       -t	       acctcon1 maintains a list of lines on which  users  are
		       logged  in.  When  it  reaches the end of its input, it
		       emits a session record for each line that still appears
		       to  be  active. It normally assumes that its input is a
		       current file, so that it uses the current time  as  the
		       ending  time for each session still in progress. The -t
		       flag causes it to use, instead, the last time found  in
		       its input, thus assuring reasonable and repeatable num‐
		       bers for non-current files.

       -l lineuse      lineuse is created to contain a summary of  line	 usage
		       showing	line  name, number of minutes used, percentage
		       of total elapsed time used, number of sessions charged,
		       number  of  logins,  and	 number of logoffs.  This file
		       helps track line usage, identify bad  lines,  and  find
		       software	 and hardware oddities. Hangup, termination of
		       login(1) and termination of the login shell each gener‐
		       ate  logoff  records,  so that the number of logoffs is
		       often three to four times the number of	sessions.  See
		       init(1M) and utmpx(4).

       -o reboot       reboot  is  filled  with	 an  overall  record  for  the
		       accounting period, giving starting time,	 ending	 time,
		       number of reboots, and number of date changes.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1: Using the acctcon command.

       The acctcon command is typically used as follows:

       example% acctcon -l lineuse -o reboots < tmpwtmp > ctacct

       The acctcon1 and acctcon2 commands are typically used as follows:

       example% acctcon1 -l lineuse -o reboots < tmpwtmp | sort +1n +2 > ctmp
       example% acctcon2 < ctmp > ctacct

NOTES
       The line usage report is confused by date  changes.  Use	 wtmpfix  (see
       fwtmp(1M)),  with  the  /var/adm/wtmpx  file as an argument, to correct
       this situation.

       During a single invocation of any given command, the acctcon, acctcon1,
       and acctcon2 commands can process a maximum of:

	 ·  6000 distinct session

	 ·  1000 distinct terminal lines

	 ·  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.
