Description

       also produced.

       The accounting file is maintained by and Neither of these programs creates the file, so if it does not exist no connect-time accounting	is
       done.   To  start  accounting,  it should be created with length 0.  On the other hand if the file is left undisturbed it will grow without
       bound, so periodically any information desired should be collected and the file truncated.

Options
       -w     Specifies an alternate wtmp file.

       -p     Prints individual totals; without this option, only totals are printed.

       -d     Causes a printout for each midnight to midnight period.  Any people will limit the printout to only the specified login  names.	If
	      no wtmp file is given, is used.
