NAME
wracct - write extended accounting records for active processes and tasks
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/wracct -i id_list [-t record_type]
{process | task}
DESCRIPTION
The wracct utility allows the administrator to invoke the extended accounting system, if active, to write intermediate records representing
the resource usage of a selected set of processes or tasks. For tasks, a record_type option is also supported, allowing the administrator
to request the writing of:
o an interval record, which reflects task usage since a previous interval record (or since task creation if there is no interval
record), or
o a partial record, which reflects usage since task creation.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-i id_list Select the IDs of the tasks or processes to write records for. Specify id_list as a comma- or space-separated list of
IDs, presented as a single argument. For some shells, this requires appropriate quoting of the argument.
-t record_type Select type of record to write for the selected task or process. For tasks, record_type can be partial or interval. par-
tial is the default type, and the only type available for process records.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
process Treat the given ID as a process ID for the purposes of constructing and writing an extended accounting record.
task Treat the given ID as a task ID for the purposes of constructing and writing an extended accounting record.
EXAMPLES
