Description

Accounting software is structured as a set of commands (consisting of both C programs and shell procedures) that enable you to collect and record data about user connect time, CPU time charged to processes, and disk usage. The SUNWaccr and SUNWaccu packages install the accounting commands in the /usr/lib/acct directories. Accounting data is collected and stored in /var/adm/pacct. You can use the accounting data to generate reports and charge fees for system use.
