Thanks
I will give it a go.
I'm very grateful of you taking the time to reply if the question was already asked earlier in the day.
I must admit I didn't really search as I had been banging my head against a wall for a good few hours with it and being a newbie when it comes to these things was rather frustrated.
Many thanks again.
I'm sure I'll be asking lots more questions in the days to come

NAME
holidays - prime/nonprime table for the accounting system
SYNOPSIS
/etc/acct/holidays
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/acct/holidays file describes which hours are considered prime time and which days are holidays. Holidays and weekends are con-
sidered 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:
current_year prime_start non_prime_start
The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form:
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 each year.
