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

       Of these two fields, only the month/day is actually used by the accounting system programs.

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

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 An Example of the /etc/acct/holidays File
