Statement
Actually, It is not a homework. I left school a long time ago
. Anyways, I am just trying to develop some unix skills especially when it comes to scripting. I am writing simple programs on my own, but am asking for some help after many trials and I cannot get it to work.
If you think it is too easy for me to request the forum's input. I apologize for my ignorance.
I am guessing I need to use a maybe "if statement", but I am not sure. I have tried (if,then,elseif,fi) to no avail. I get many error messages.

PAC(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PAC(8)
NAME
pac -- printer/plotter accounting information
SYNOPSIS
pac [-cmrs] [-P printer] [-p price] [name ...]
DESCRIPTION
pac reads the printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number of pages (the usual case) or feet (for raster devices) of paper con-
sumed by each user, and printing out how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars.
Options and operands available:
-Pprinter Accounting is done for the named printer. Normally, accounting is done for the default printer (site dependent) or the value of
the environment variable PRINTER is used.
-c flag causes the output to be sorted by cost; usually the output is sorted alphabetically by name.
-m flag causes the host name to be ignored in the accounting file. This allows for a user on multiple machines to have all of his
printing charges grouped together.
-pprice The value price is used for the cost in dollars instead of the default value of 0.02 or the price specified in /etc/printcap.
-r Reverse the sorting order.
-s Accounting information is summarized on the summary accounting file; this summarization is necessary since on a busy system, the
accounting file can grow by several lines per day.
names Statistics are only printed for user(s) name; usually, statistics are printed for every user who has used any paper.
OUTPUT FORMAT
pac formats the output into simple table, using four columns - number of feets or pages (column "pages/feet"), how many copies were made
(column "runs"), total price for this print (column "price") and user login with host name (column "login" or "host name and login"). If
argument name was not used and hence pac is printing information for all users, a summary line with print totals (runs, pages, price) is
appended.
Note that pac on other system might print the price as price per copy.
FILES
/var/account/?acct raw accounting files
/var/account/?_sum summary accounting files
/etc/printcap printer capability data base
SEE ALSO
printcap(5)
HISTORY
The pac command appeared in 4.0BSD.
BUGS
The relationship between the computed price and reality is as yet unknown.
