Hi.

On some versions of Linux and Solaris (possibly old Solaris versions), a process accounting scheme can be made available. I know that I once used this mechanism on Sun boxes to tabulate command usage ... cheers, drl
Code:
       If  the  kernel  is  built with the process accounting option enabled (
       CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT ), then calling acct(2) starts process account-
       ing, for example:

           acct("/var/log/pacct");

       When  process  accounting is enabled, the kernel writes a record to the
       accounting file as each process on the system terminates.

more in chapters 2 and 5 man acct

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
