                     12: One of the accounting mechanisms available on the COHERENT system
                     13: is  process  accounting  (also  called shell  accounting),  which
                     14: records the  commands executed by each  user.  The command accton
                     15: enables or disables shell accounting.
                     16: 
                     17: The  command sa  scans  the accounting  information  in file  and
                     18: prints  a  summary.   If  file  is  omitted, it  reads  the  file
                     19: /usr/adm/acct by  default.  For each command  executed, sa prints
                     20: the number  of calls made, the total CPU  time (user and system),
                     21: and the total real time.  The output is ordered by decreasing CPU
                     22: time.
                     23: 
                     24: sa recognizes the following options:
                     25: 
                     26: aa   Place commands executed  only once and command names with un-
                     27:     printable characters in the category ``***other''.
                     28: 
                     29: bb   Sort by average CPU time per call.
                     30: 
                     31: cc   Also print CPU time as a percentage of all CPU time used.
                     32: 
                     33: jj   Print average times per call rather than totals.
                     34: 
                     35: ll   Separate user and system time.
                     36: 
                     37: mm   Accumulate information for each user rather for each command.
                     38: 
                     39: nn   Sort by number of calls.
                     40: 
                     41: rr   Reverse the order of the sort.
                     42: 
                     43: ss    After scanning,  condense the accounting  file and  merge it
                     44:     into the summary files.
                     45: 
                     46: tt   Also print the CPU time as a percentage of real time.
                     47: 
                     48: uu   Print  the user and command for  each accounting record; this
                     49:     option overrides all others.
                     50: 
                     51: vv _N For commands called no more than N times, where N is a digit,
                     52:     sa  asks  whether  to  place  the  command  in  the  category
                     53:     ``**junk**''.
                     54: 
                     55: sa uses  the summary files  /usr/adm/savacct and /usr/adm/usracct
                     56: to lessen disk usage.
