Adding Elapsed time
I'm using the Bourne shell and trying to write a script that will add all the time that any particular user has been on the network for.
I've used last-h | grep "username" | cut -c 58-62 to get the times.
Then I wrote a script that takes the time and converts it into just minutes.
Now I want to add all the minutes together to arrive at a total time.
I'm using expr; I keep getting a non-numeric expression error..I guess that means that the numbers I'm generating are strings and not just numbers?
Is there a way to convert a string, such as "345" into an integer so that you can use expr on it?
Is there any better way to approach getting total time on the network for any particular user?

Hi
I want to know if there is anyway I can find out how long it has been since I started my script or total time it has been since my script is executing.
Idea here is I want to check if my script is taking more than 30minutes to execute I want to kill that process.
Thanks in advance. (1 Reply)

acctcms
acctcms(1M) System Administration Commands acctcms(1M)
NAME
acctcms - command summary from process accounting records
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/acct/acctcms [ -a [-o] [-p]] [-c] [-j] [-n] [-s] [-t] filename...
DESCRIPTION
acctcms reads one or more filenames, normally in the form described in acct.h(3HEAD). It adds all records for processes that executed iden-
tically named commands, sorts them, and writes them to the standard output, normally using an internal summary format.
OPTIONS
-a Print output in ASCII rather than in the internal summary format. The output includes command name, number of times executed,
total kcore-minutes, total CPU minutes, total real minutes, mean size (in K), mean CPU minutes per invocation, "hog factor," char-
acters transferred, and blocks read and written, as in acctcom(1). Output is normally sorted by total kcore-minutes.
Use the following options only with the -a option:
-o Output a (non-prime) offshift-time-only command summary.
-p Output a prime-time-only command summary.
When -o and -p are used together, a combination prime-time and non-prime-time report is produced. All the output summaries are
total usage except number of times executed, CPU minutes, and real minutes, which are split into prime and non-prime.
-c Sort by total CPU time, rather than total kcore-minutes.
-j Combine all commands invoked only once under "***other".
-n Sort by number of command invocations.
-s Any file names encountered hereafter are already in internal summary format.
-t Process all records as total accounting records. The default internal summary format splits each field into prime and non-prime-
time parts. This option combines the prime and non-prime time parts into a single field that is the total of both, and provides
upward compatibility with old style acctcms internal summary format records.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using the acctcms command.
A typical sequence for performing daily command accounting and for maintaining a running total is:
example% acctcms filename ... > today
example% cp total previoustotal
example% acctcms -s today previoustotal > total
example% acctcms -a -s today

NOTES
Unpredictable output results if -t is used on new style internal summary format files, or if it is not used with old style internal summary
format files.
