System Administration Commands acctcon(1M)
NAME
acctcon, acctcon1, acctcon2 - connect-time accounting
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/acct/acctcon [-l lineuse] [-o reboot]
/usr/lib/acct/acctcon1 [-p] [-t] [-l lineuse] [-o reboot]
/usr/lib/acct/acctcon2
DESCRIPTION
acctcon converts a sequence of login/logoff records to total
accounting records (see the tacct format in acct.h(3HEAD)).
The login/logoff records are read from standard input. The
file /var/adm/wtmpx is usually the source of the
login/logoff records; however, because it might contain cor-
rupted records or system date changes, it should first be
fixed using wtmpfix. The fixed version of file
/var/adm/wtmpx can then be redirected to acctcon. The tacct
records are written to standard output.
acctcon is a combination of the programs acctcon1 and acct-
con2. acctcon1 converts login/logoff records, taken from the
fixed /var/adm/wtmpx file, to ASCI output. acctcon2 reads
the ASCI records produced by acctcon1 and converts them to
tacct records. acctcon1 can be used with the -l and -o
options, described below, as well as with the -p and -t
options.
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 pro-
gress. The -t flag causes it to use, instead,
the last time found in its input, thus assur-
ing reasonable and repeatable numbers for
non-current files.

System Administration Commands acctcon(1M)
-l lineuse lineuse 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.
Hangup, termination of login(1) and termina-
tion of the login shell each generate logoff
records, so that the number of logoffs is
often three to four times the number of ses-
sions. See init(1M) and utmpx(4).
-o reboot reboot is filled with an overall record for
the accounting period, giving starting time,
ending time, number of reboots, and number of
date changes.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using the acctcon command.
The acctcon command is typically used as follows:
example% acctcon -l lineuse -o reboots < tmpwtmp > ctacct
The acctcon1 and acctcon2 commands are typically used as
follows:
example% acctcon1 -l lineuse -o reboots < tmpwtmp sort ]1n ]2 > ctmp
example% acctcon2 < ctmp > ctacct

NOTES
The line usage report is confused by date changes. Use
wtmpfix (see fwtmp(1M)), with the /var/adm/wtmpx file as an
argument, to correct this situation.
During a single invocation of any given command, the acct-
con, acctcon1, and acctcon2 commands can process a maximum
of:
o 6000 distinct session
o 1000 distinct terminal lines
o 2000 distinct login names
If at some point the actual number of any one of these
items exceeds the maximum, the command will not succeed.
