NAME
     holidays - prime/nonprime table for the accounting system

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/acct/holidays


DESCRIPTION
     The /etc/acct/holidays file specifies prime time  hours  and
     holidays.  Holidays  and  weekends  are considered non-prime
     time hours.


     /etc/acct/holidays is used by the accounting system.


     All lines beginning with an * are comments.


     The /etc/acct/holidays file consists of  two  sections.  The
     first  non-comment  line  defines  the  current year and the
     start time of prime and non-prime time hours,  in  the  form
     of:

       currentyear primestart nonprimestart



     Specify primestart and nonprimestart times in  the  range
     of 0000 to 2400.


     The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays  in  the
     form of:

       month/day companyholiday



     Of these two fields, only the month/day is actually used  by
     the accounting system programs.


     The /etc/acct/holidays file must be updated every year.
