UNIX Acct User Resource Usage, Monthly Overview

For a specific node in the network, this report (see UNIX Acct User Resource Usage, Monthly Overview) provides monthly overview information about the resource usage by user name. The report would typically be run each month in batch mode, and if the report shows that further investigation for a specific user (or users) is required, you can then use the report UNIX Acct Commands by User, Daily Overview for a daily breakdown of resource usage by the user(s). The report is produced by period name (for example, PRIME or NIGHT).

The report can be used as a guide for charging users and departments for the system resources they have used.
