acctmerg(1M)                                         acctmerg(1M)



NAME
     acctmerg - merges or adds accounting files

SYNOPSIS
     acctmerg [-a] [-i] [-p] [-t] [-u] [-v] [file]...

ARGUMENTS
     -a   Produces the output in the ASCII version of tacct.

     file Specifies the file to be read.

     -i   Produces the input files in the ASCII version of tacct.

     -p   Prints the input with no processing.

     -t   Produces a single record that totals all input.

     -u   Summarizes by user ID only, rather than user ID and
          name.

     -v   Produces the output in the verbose ASCII format, with
          more precise notation for floating point numbers.

DESCRIPTION
     acctmerg reads its standard input and up to nine additional
     files, all in the tacct format (see acct(4)).  It merges
     these inputs by adding records whose keys (normally user ID
     and name) are identical, and expects the inputs to be sorted
     on those keys.

EXAMPLE
     The following sequence is useful for repairing any file kept
     in this format:

        acctmerg -v < file1 > file2

     edit file2 as desired

        acctmerg -i < file2 > file1


FILES
     /usr/lib/acct/acctmerg
          Executable file
