Name

acctmerg - merge or add total accounting files

Synopsis

/usr/lib/acct/acctmerg [ -a ] [ -i ] [ -p ] [ -t ] [ -u ] [ -v ] [ filename ] ...

Availability

SUNWaccu

Description

acctmerg reads its standard input and up to nine additional files, all in the tacct format (see acct(4) ) or an ASCII version thereof. It merges these inputs by adding records whose keys (normally user ID and name) are identical, and expects the inputs to be sorted on those keys.

Options

-a
Produce output in ASCII version of tacct.
-i
Input files are in ASCII version of tacct.
-p
Print input with no processing.
-t
Produce a single record that totals all input.
-u
Summarize by user ID, rather than by user ID and name.
-v
Produce output in verbose ASCII format, with more precise notation for floating-point numbers.

Examples

The following sequence is useful for making "repairs" to any file kept in this format:


example% acctmerg-v <filename1>filename2

Edit filename2 as desired


example% acctmerg-i <filename2>filename1
