 acctcon(1M)                                                     acctcon(1M)





 NAME
      acctcon1, acctcon2 - connect-time accounting

 SYNOPSIS
      /usr/lib/acct/acctcon1 [options]

      /usr/lib/acct/acctcon2

 DESCRIPTION
      acctcon1 converts a sequence of login/logoff records read from its
      standard input to a sequence of records, one per login session.  Its
      input should normally be redirected from /etc/wtmp.  Its output is
      ASCII, giving device, user ID, login name, prime connect time
      (seconds), non-prime connect time (seconds), session starting time
      (numeric), and starting date and time.  Prime connect time is defined
      as the connect time within a specific prime period on a non-holiday
      weekday (Monday through Friday).  The starting and ending time of the
      prime period and the year's holidays are defined in file
      /usr/lib/acct/holidays.

      acctcon1 recognizes the following 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 ensuring reasonable and repeatable
                          numbers for non-current files.

           -l file        file 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.  Hang-up, termination of login (see
                          login(1)), and termination of the login shell each
                          generate logoff records, so that the number of
                          logoffs is often three to four times the number of
                          sessions.  See init(1M) and utmp(4).

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

 acctcon(1M)                                                     acctcon(1M)





                          changes.

      acctcon2 expects as input a sequence of login session records and
      converts them into total accounting records (see tacct format in
      acct(4)).

 EXAMPLES
      These commands are typically used as shown below.  The file ctmp is
      created only for the use of commands described by the acctprc(1M)
      manual entry:

           acctcon1 -t -l lineuse -o reboots <wtmp | sort +1n +2 >ctmp
           acctcon2 <ctmp | acctmerg >ctacct

 FILES
      /etc/wtmp
      /usr/lib/acct/holidays

 WARNINGS
      The line usage report is confused by date changes.  Use wtmpfix (see
      fwtmp(1M)) to correct this situation.
