-a

Shows average statistics about the processes selected. The statistics are printed after the output is recorded.

-b

Reads the files backward, showing latest commands first. This option has no effect if reading standard input.

-f

Prints the fork/exec flag and system exit status columns. The output is an octal number.

-h

Instead of mean memory size, shows the hog factor, which is the fraction of total available CPU time consumed by the process during its execution. Hog factor = total_CPU_time/elapsed_time.

-i

Prints columns containing the I/O counts in the output.

-k

Shows total kcore minutes instead of memory size.

-m

Shows mean core size. This is the default.

-q

Prints average statistics, not output records.

-r

Shows CPU factor: user_time/(system_time + user_time).

-t

Shows separate system and user CPU times.

-v

Excludes column headings from the output.

-C sec

Shows only processes with total CPU time (system plus user) exceeding sec seconds.

-e time

Shows processes existing at or before time, given in the format hr[:min[:sec]].

-E time

Shows processes starting at or before time, given in the format hr[:min[:sec]]. Using the same time for both -S and -E, shows processes that existed at the time.

-g group

Shows only processes that belong to group.

-H factor

Shows only processes that exceed factor, where factor is the "hog factor" (see the -h option).

-I chars

Shows only processes that transferred more characters than the cutoff number specified by chars.

-l line

Show only processes belonging to the terminal /dev/line.

-n pattern

Shows only commands matching pattern (a regular expression except that "+" means one or more occurrences).

-o ofile

Instead of printing the records, copies them in acct.h format to ofile.

-O sec

Shows only processes with CPU system time exceeding sec seconds.

-s time

Show processes existing at or after time, given in the format hr[:min[:sec]].

-S time

Show processes starting at or after time, given in the format hr[:min[:sec]].

-u user

Shows only processes that belong to user.

dtmp

pacct

Active process accounting file

Output of acctcon1 program, connect session records in ctmp.h format (acctcon1 and acctcon2 are provided for compatibility purposes)

daycms

ASCII daily command summary used by the prdaily script.

daytacct

Total accounting records for one day in tacct.h format

disktacct

Disk accounting records in tacct.h format, created by the dodisk script

fd2log

Diagnostic output during execution of the runacct script

lastdate

Last day the runacct script executed (in date +%m%d format)

lock

Used to control serial use of the runacct script

lineuse

tty line usage report used by the prdaily script

log

Diagnostic output from the acctcon program

log.MMDD

Same as the log file after the runacct script detects an error

owtmpx

Previous day's wtmpx file

reboots

Beginning and ending dates from the wtmpx file and a listing of reboots

statefile

Used to record current state during execution of the runacct script

tmpwtmp

wtmpx file corrected by the wtmpfix program

wtmperror

Contains wtmpfix error messages

wtmperror.MMDD

Same as the wtmperror file after the runacct script detects an error

wtmp.MMDD

The runacct script's copy of the wtmpx file

cms

Total command summary file for current fiscal period in binary format

cmsprev

Command summary file without latest update

daycms

Command summary file for the day's usage in internal summary format

loginlog

Record of last date each user logged on; created by the lastlogin script and used in the prdaily script

rprt.MMDD

Saved output of prdaily script

tacct

Cumulative total accounting file for current fiscal period

tacctprev

Same as tacct without latest update

tacct.MMDD

Total accounting file for MMDD

cmsn

Total command summary file for fiscal period n in internal summary format

fiscrptn

Report similar to rprtn for fiscal period n

tacctn

Total accounting file for fiscal period n

nite/lineuse

The runacct script calls the acctcon program to gather data on terminal line usage from the /var/adm/acct/nite/tmpwtmp file and writes the data to the /var/adm/acct/nite/lineuse file. The prdaily script uses this data to report line usage. This report is especially useful for detecting bad lines. If the ratio between the number of logouts to logins is greater than about three to one, the line is very likely failing.

nite/daytacct

The total accounting file for the day in tacct.h format.

sum/tacct

Contains the accumulation of each day's nite/daytacct data and is used for billing purposes. The monacct script restarts accumulating this data each month or fiscal period.

sum/daycms

The runacct script calls the acctcms program to process the commands used during the day to create the Daily Command Summary report and stores the data in the /var/adm/acct/sum/daycms file. The ASCII version is the /var/adm/acct/nite/daycms file.

sum/cms

This file is the accumulation of each day's command summaries. It is restarted by the execution of the monacct script. The ASCII version is the nite/cms file.

sum/loginlog

The runacct script calls lastlogin script to update the last date logged in for the logins in the /var/adm/acct/sum/loginlog file. The lastlogin command also removes from this file any logins that are no longer valid.

sum/rprt.MMDD

Each execution of the runacct script saves a copy of the daily report that was printed by the prdaily script.
