acctcom(1)
acctcom --
search and print process accounting file(s)
Synopsis
acctcom [options] [file ...]
Description
acctcom
reads
file,
the standard input, or
/var/adm/pacct,
in the form described by
acct(4)
and writes selected records to the standard output.
Each record represents the execution of one process.
The output shows the
COMMAND NAME,
USER,
TTYNAME,
START TIME,
END TIME,
REAL (SEC),
CPU (SEC),
MEAN SIZE (K),
and optionally,
F
(the
fork/exec
flag:
1 for fork without exec),
STAT
(the system exit status),
HOG FACTOR,
KCORE MIN,
CPU FACTOR,
CHARS TRNSFD,
and
BLOCKS READ
(total blocks read and written).
A ``#'' is prefixed to the command name
if the command was executed by a privileged user.
If a process is not associated with a known terminal,
a ``?'' is printed in the
TTYNAME
field.
If no files are specified, and
if the standard input is associated with a terminal
or
/dev/null
(as is the case when using
``&''
in the shell),
/var/adm/pacct
is read; otherwise, the standard input is read.
If any
file
arguments are given,
they are read in their respective order.
Each file is normally read forward, that is, in chronological order
by process completion time.
The file
/var/adm/pacct
is usually the current file to be examined;
a busy system may need several such files
of which all but the current file are found in
/var/adm/pacct incr.
The options are:
-a-
Show some average statistics about the processes selected.
The statistics will be printed after the output records.
-b-
Read backwards, showing latest commands first.
This option has no effect when the standard input is read.
-f-
Print the
fork/exec
flag and system exit status columns in the output.
The numeric output for this option will be in octal.
-h-
Instead of mean memory size,
show the fraction of total available
CPU
time consumed by the process
during its execution.
This ``hog factor'' is computed as (total CPU time)/(elapsed time).
-i-
Print columns containing the I/O counts in the output.
-k-
Instead of memory size, show total kcore-minutes.
-m-
Show mean core size (the default).
-r-
Show
CPU
factor [user-time/(system-time + user-time)].
-t-
Show separate system and user
CPU
times.
-v-
Exclude column headings from the output.
-l line-
Show only processes belonging to terminal
/dev/line.
-u user-
Show only processes belonging to
user
that may be specified by: a user ID,
a login name
that is then converted to a user ID,
a ``#'' that designates only those processes executed
by a privileged user,
or ``?''
that designates only those processes associated with unknown
user IDs.
The ``#'' and the ``?'' should be typed as ``\#'' and ``\?'',
respectively, to prevent the shell
from interpreting the ``#'' as the start of a comment,
or the ``?'' as a pattern.
-g group-
Show only processes belonging to
group.
The group may be designated by either the
group ID or group name.
-s time-
Select processes existing at or after
time,
given in the format
hr[:min[:sec]].
-e time-
Select processes existing at or before
time.
-S time-
Select processes starting at or after
time.
-E time-
Select processes ending at or before
time.
Using the same
time
for both
-S
and
-E
shows the processes that existed at
time.
-n pattern-
Show only commands matching
pattern
that may be a regular expression as in
regcmp(3G),
except ``+'' means one or more occurrences.
-q-
Do not print any output records, just print the average statistics as with
the
-a
option.
-o ofile-
Copy selected process records in the input data format to
ofile;
suppress printing to standard output.
-H factor-
Show only processes that exceed
factor,
where factor is the ``hog factor'' as explained in option
-h
above.
-O sec-
Show only processes with
CPU
system time exceeding
sec
seconds.
-C sec-
Show only processes with total
CPU
time (system-time + user-time) exceeding
sec
seconds.
-I chars-
Show only processes transferring more characters than
the cutoff number given by
chars.

acctcom
reports only on processes that have terminated; use
ps(1)
for active processes.
If
time
exceeds the present time,
then
time
is interpreted as occurring on the previous day.
