wracct(1M) System Administration Commands wracct(1M)NAMEwracct - write extended accounting records for active processes and
tasks
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/wracct -i id_list [-t record_type] {process | task}
DESCRIPTION
The wracct utility allows the administrator to invoke the extended
accounting system, if active, to write intermediate records represent‐
ing the resource usage of a selected set of processes or tasks. For
tasks, a record_type option is also supported, allowing the administra‐
tor to request the writing of:
· an interval record, which reflects task usage since a previous
interval record (or since task creation if there is no interval
record), or
· a partial record, which reflects usage since task creation.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-i id_list Select the IDs of the tasks or processes to write
records for. Specify id_list as a comma- or space-sepa‐
rated list of IDs, presented as a single argument. For
some shells, this requires appropriate quoting of the
argument.
-t record_type Select type of record to write for the selected task or
process. For tasks, record_type can be partial or
interval. partial is the default type, and the only
type available for process records.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
process Treat the given ID as a process ID for the purposes of
constructing and writing an extended accounting record.
task Treat the given ID as a task ID for the purposes of
constructing and writing an extended accounting record.
EXAMPLES

# /usr/sbin/wracct -i "`pgrep sendmail`" process
Example 2: Writing an Interval Record
Write an interval record for the task with ID 182.
# /usr/sbin/wracct -t interval -i 182 task
