Should be initiated via It periodically checks the size of If the size exceeds blocks, 1000 by default, is invoked with argument switch. If the number of free disk blocks in the file system falls below 500, automatically turns off the collection of process accounting records via the argument to When at least this number of blocks is restored, the accounting will be activated again. This feature is sensitive to the frequency at which is executed, usually by Should be invoked by to perform the disk accounting functions. By default, it will do disk accounting on the special files in If the flag is used, it does a slower version of disk accounting by login directory. files specifies the one or more filesystem names where disk accounting is to be done. If files is used, disk accounting will be done on these filesystems only. If the flag is used, files should be mount points of mounted filesystem. If omitted, they should be the special file names of mountable filesystems. Invoked by to update which shows the last date on which each user logged in (see runacct(1M)).
