NAME

       acctcms - command summary from process accounting records

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/acct/acctcms [ -a [-o] [-p]] [-c] [-j] [-n] [-s] [-t] filename...

DESCRIPTION

       acctcms reads one or more filenames, normally in the form described in acct.h(3HEAD). It adds all records for processes that executed iden-
       tically named commands, sorts them, and writes them to the standard output, normally using an internal summary format.

OPTIONS

       -a	Print output in ASCII rather than in the internal summary format. The output includes command  name,  number  of  times  executed,
		total kcore-minutes, total CPU minutes, total real minutes, mean size (in K), mean CPU minutes per invocation, "hog factor," char-
		acters transferred, and blocks read and written, as in acctcom(1). Output is normally sorted by total kcore-minutes.

		Use the following options only with the -a option:

		-o	 Output a (non-prime) offshift-time-only command summary.

		-p	 Output a prime-time-only command summary.

		When -o and -p are used together, a combination prime-time and non-prime-time report is produced.  All the  output  summaries  are
		total usage except number of times executed, CPU minutes, and real minutes, which are split into prime and non-prime.

       -c	Sort by total CPU time, rather than total kcore-minutes.

       -j	Combine all commands invoked only once under "***other".

       -n	Sort by number of command invocations.

       -s	Any file names encountered hereafter are already in internal summary format.

       -t	Process  all  records as total accounting records. The default internal summary format splits each field into prime and non-prime-
		time parts. This option combines the prime and non-prime time parts into a single field that is the total of  both,  and  provides
		upward compatibility with old style acctcms internal summary format records.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using the acctcms command.

       A typical sequence for performing daily command accounting and for maintaining a running total is:

       example% acctcms filename ... > today
       example% cp total previoustotal
       example% acctcms -s today previoustotal > total
       example% acctcms -a -s today

NOTES

       Unpredictable output results if -t is used on new style internal summary format files, or if it is not used with old style internal summary
       format files.
