1.1 root 1: .TH SA 8 "20 April 1980"
2: .SH NAME
3: sa, accton \- system accounting
4: .SH SYNOPSIS
5: .B /etc/sa
6: [
7: .B \-abcdDfijkKlnrstuv
8: ] [ file ]
9: .PP
10: .B /etc/accton
11: [ file ]
12: .SH DESCRIPTION
13: With an argument naming an existing
14: .I file,
15: .I accton
16: causes system accounting information for
17: every process executed to be placed at the end of the file.
18: If no argument is given, accounting is turned off.
19: .PP
20: .I Sa
21: reports on, cleans up, and generally maintains accounting files.
22: .PP
23: .I Sa
24: is able to condense the information in
25: .I /usr/adm/acct
26: into a summary file
27: .I /usr/adm/savacct
28: which contains a count of the
29: number of times each command was called and the time resources consumed.
30: This condensation is desirable because on a large system
31: .I /usr/adm/acct
32: can grow by 100 blocks per day.
33: The summary file is normally read before the accounting file,
34: so the reports include all available information.
35: .PP
36: If a file name is given as the last argument, that file will be treated
37: as the accounting file;
38: .I /usr/adm/acct
39: is the default.
40: .PP
41: Output fields are labeled: \*(lqcpu\*(rq for the sum of user+system time
42: (in minutes), \*(lqre\*(rq for real time (also in minutes),
43: \*(lqk\*(rq for cpu-time averaged core usage (in 1k units),
44: \*(lqavio\*(rq for average number of i/o operations per execution.
45: With options fields labeled \*(lqtio\*(rq for total i/o operations,
46: \*(lqk*sec\*(rq for cpu storage integral (kilo-core seconds), \*(lqu\*(rq and \*(lqs\*(rq
47: for user and system cpu time alone (both in minutes) will sometimes appear.
48: .PP
49: There are near a googol of options:
50: .PP
51: .TP
52: a
53: Place all command names containing unprintable characters
54: and those used only once under the name `***other.'
55: .TP
56: b
57: Sort output by sum of user and system time divided by number of calls.
58: Default sort is by sum of user and system times.
59: .TP
60: c
61: Besides total user, system, and real time for each command print percentage
62: of total time over all commands.
63: .TP
64: d
65: Sort by average number of disk i/o operations.
66: .TP
67: D
68: Print and sort by total number of disk i/o operations.
69: .TP
70: f
71: Force no interactive threshold compression with \-v flag.
72: .TP
73: i
74: Don't read in summary file.
75: .TP
76: j
77: Instead of total minutes time for each category, give seconds per call.
78: .TP
79: k
80: Sort by cpu-time average memory usage.
81: .TP
82: K
83: Print and sort by cpu-storage integral.
84: .TP
85: l
86: Separate system and user time; normally they are combined.
87: .TP
88: m
89: Print number of processes and number of CPU minutes for each user.
90: .TP
91: n
92: Sort by number of calls.
93: .TP
94: r
95: Reverse order of sort.
96: .TP
97: s
98: Merge accounting file into summary file
99: .I /usr/adm/savacct
100: when done.
101: .TP
102: t
103: For each command report ratio of real time to the sum of user and system times.
104: .TP
105: u
106: Superseding all other flags, print for each command in the accounting file the
107: user ID and command name.
108: .TP
109: v
110: Followed by a number
111: .I n,
112: types the name of each command used
113: .I n
114: times or fewer.
115: Await a reply from the terminal; if it begins with `y', add the command to
116: the category `**junk**.' This is used to strip out garbage.
