runacct command files
The runacct command produces report and summary files.
The following report and summary files, produced by the runacct command, are of particular interest:
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| /var/adm/acct/nite(x)/lineuse | Contains usage statistics for each terminal line on the system. This report is especially useful for detecting bad lines. If the ratio between the number of logouts and logins exceeds about 3 to 1, there is a good possibility that a line is failing. |
| /var/adm/acct/nite(x)/daytacct | Contains the total accounting file for the previous day. |
| /var/adm/acct/sum(x)/tacct | Contains the accumulation of each day's nite/daytacct file and can be used for billing purposes. The monacct command restarts the file each month or fiscal period. |
| /var/adm/acct/sum(x)/cms | Contains the accumulation of each day's command summaries. The monacct command reads this binary version of the file and purges it. The ASCII version is nite/cms. |
| /var/adm/acct/sum(x)/daycms | Contains the daily command summary. An ASCII version is stored in nite/daycms. |
| /var/adm/acct/sum(x)/loginlog | Contains a record of the last time each user ID was used. |
| /var/adm/acct/sum(x)/rprt mmdd | This file contains a copy of the daily report saved by the runacct command. |
