NAME
     wracct  -  write  extended  accounting  records  for  active
     processes and tasks

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/wracct -i idlist [-t recordtype]
          {process  task}


DESCRIPTION
     The wracct utility allows the administrator  to  invoke  the
     extended accounting system, if active, to write intermediate
     records representing the resource usage of a selected set of
     processes  or tasks. For tasks, a recordtype option is also
     supported, allowing the administrator to request the writing
     of:

         o    an interval record, which reflects task usage since
              a  previous interval record (or since task creation
              if there is no interval record), or

         o    a partial record, which reflects usage  since  task
              creation.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -i idlist        Select the IDs of the tasks  or  processes
                       to write records for. Specify idlist as a
                       comma- or  space-separated  list  of  IDs,
                       presented  as  a single argument. For some
                       shells, this requires appropriate  quoting
                       of the argument.


     -t recordtype    Select type of record  to  write  for  the
                       selected   task  or  process.  For  tasks,
                       recordtype can be  partial  or  interval.
                       partial  is the default type, and the only
                       type available for process records.


OPERANDS
     The following operands are supported:

     process    Treat the given ID as a process ID for  the  pur-
                poses  of  constructing  and  writing an extended
                accounting record.


     task       Treat the given ID as a task ID for the  purposes
                of   constructing   and   writing   an   extended
