Name

acctcms - command summary from process accounting records

Synopsis

/usr/lib/acct/acctcms [ -a [ -o ] [ -p ] ] [ -c ] [ -j ] [ -n ] [ -s ] [ -t ] filename...

Availability

SUNWaccu

Description

acctcms reads one or more filenames, normally in the form described in acct(4) . It adds all records for processes that executed identically-named commands, sorts them, and writes them to the standard output, normally using an internal summary format.

Options

-a
Print output in ASCII rather than in the internal summary format. The output includes command name, number of times executed, total kcore-minutes, total CPU minutes, total real minutes, mean size (in K), mean CPU minutes per invocation, "hog factor", characters transferred, and blocks read and written, as in acctcom(1) . Output is normally sorted by total kcore-minutes.
The following options may be used only with
the -a option:
-o
Output a (non-prime) offshift-time-only command summary.
-p
Output a prime-time-only command summary.
When
-o and -p are used together, a combination prime-time and non-prime-time report is produced. All the output summaries will be total usage except number of times executed, CPU minutes, and real minutes, which will be split into prime and non-prime.
-c
Sort by total CPU time, rather than total kcore-minutes.
-j
Combine all commands invoked only once under "***other".
-n
Sort by number of command invocations.
-s
Any filenames encountered hereafter are already in internal summary format.
-t
Process all records as total accounting records. The default internal summary format splits each field into prime and non-prime time parts. This option combines the prime and non-prime time parts into a single field that is the total of both, and provides upward compatibility with old style acctcms internal summary format records.

Examples

A typical sequence for performing daily command accounting and for maintaining a running total is: 


example% acctcms filename ... > todayexample% cp total previoustotalexample%
acctcms -s today previoustotal > totalexample% acctcms -a -s today

Notes

Unpredictable output results if -t is used on new style internal summary format files, or if it is not used with old style internal summary format files.
