accton -- Command Enable/disable process accounting /etc/accton [ file ] One of the accounting mechanisms available on the COHERENT system is process accounting, Process accounting records each process, who initiates it, and how long it takes to execute. The command accton turns process account on or off. To turn on process accounting, issue the command accton followed by a file argument; COHERENT then begin to write accounting data into file, By convention, file should be /usr/adm/acct. To turn off process accounting, issue the command accton without any arguments. The command sa summarizes the data that will have been written into file. See Also ac, acct, acct.h, commands, init, sa Notes As the accounting file can become very large, you should truncate that file from time to time. You should take extra care to monitor the growth of that file should you enable process accounting on a system with a limited amount of free disk space.
