NAME
holidays - prime/nonprime table for the accounting system
SYNOPSIS
/etc/acct/holidays
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/acct/holidays file specifies prime time hours and holidays. Holidays and weekends are considered non-prime time hours.
/etc/acct/holidays is used by the accounting system.
All lines beginning with an * are comments.
The /etc/acct/holidays file consists of two sections. The first non-comment line defines the current year and the start time of prime and
non-prime time hours, in the form of:
current_year prime_start non_prime_start
Specify prime_start and non_prime_start times in the range of 0000 to 2400.
The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form of:
month/day company_holiday

The /etc/acct/holidays file must be updated every year.
