NAME

       ac - login accounting

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/ac [ -w wtmp ] [ -p ] [ -d ] [ people ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Ac  produces a printout giving connect time for each user who has logged in during the life of the current wtmp file.  A total is also pro-
       duced.  -w is used to specify 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, /usr/adm/wtmp is used.

       The accounting file /usr/adm/wtmp is maintained by init and login.  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 undis-
       turbed it will grow without bound, so periodically any information desired should be collected and the file truncated.

FILES

       /usr/adm/wtmp

NAME

       wtmpconvert - Modify connect time accounting records from DIGITAL UNIX releases 4.0x and prior to new format

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lbin/wtmpconvert [-vnrp?h] input_file [output_file]

OPTIONS

       Restore new format to old format.  Verbose. Display lines while converting.  Do not preserve contents of input file.  Formatted print only.
       Do not convert. (May be used with the -r option).  Display usage message.

DESCRIPTION

       The wtmpconvert command reads records from a connect time accounting file, such as /var/adm/wtmp, and converts the  record  format  to  the
       updated	struct	utmp  format.  If  no output file is specified or if the output file path is identical to the input file path, wtmpconvert
       makes a backup copy of the original input file using the following algorithm: If filename.orig exists.  Where n is a unique number.

       The wtmpconvert command attempts to detect an input file that is in the wrong format (for example, input  file  is  already  a  new  format
       file). A warning message is issued in this case, but conversion continues.

EXIT STATUS

       Success.  An error occurred.

EXAMPLES

       To convert an old format accounting file to the new format: wtmpconvert /var/adm/wtmp.prev

	      Upon  completion	of this command, /var/adm/wtmp.prev will have been converted to the new format. The original /var/adm/wtmp.prev is
	      renamed to /var/adm/wtmp.prev.orig.  To convert a wtmp  file  in	new  format  to  the  old  format:  wtmpconvert  -r  /var/adm/wtmp
	      /var/adm/wtmp.old

FILES

       Accounting header files that define the format for the login database file.  The active login/logoff database files.
