          ACCTCMS(1M)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          ACCTCMS(1M)



          NAME
               acctcms - command summary from per-process accounting
               records

          SYNOPSIS
               /usr/lib/acct/acctcms [options] files

          DESCRIPTION
               acctcms reads one or more files, normally in the form
               described in acct(4).  It adds all records for processes
               that executed identically-named commands, sorts them, and
               writes them to the standard output, normally using an inter-
               nal summary format.  The options are:

               -a   Print output in ASCII rather than in the internal sum-
                    mary format.  The output includes command name, number
                    of times executed, total kcore-minutes, total CPU
                    minutes, total real minutes, mean size (in K), mean CPU
                    minutes per invocation, ``hog factor'', characters
                    transferred, and blocks read and written, as in
                    acctcom(1).  Output is normally sorted by total kcore-
                    minutes.
               -c   Sort by total CPU time, rather than total kcore-
                    minutes.
               -j   Combine all commands invoked only once under
                    ``***other''.
               -n   Sort by number of command invocations.
               -s   Any file names encountered hereafter are already in
                    internal summary format.
               -t   Process all records as total accounting records.  The
                    default internal summary format splits each field into
                    prime and non-prime time parts.  This option combines
                    the prime and non-prime time parts into a single field
                    that is the total of both, and provides upward compati-
                    bility with old (i.e., UNIX System V) style acctcms
                    internal summary format records.

               The following options may be used only with the -a option.

               -p   Output a prime-time-only command summary.
               -o   Output a non-prime (offshift) time only command sum-
                    mary.

               When -p and -o are used together, a combination prime and
               non-prime time report is produced.  All the output summaries
               will be total usage except number of times executed, CPU
               minutes, and real minutes which will be split into prime and
               non-prime.

               A typical sequence for performing daily command accounting
               and for maintaining a running total is:

                    acctcms file ... >today

                    acctcms -s today previoustotal >total
                    acctcms -a -s today

          BUGS
               Unpredictable output results if -t is used on new style
               internal summary format files, or if it is not used with old
               style internal summary format files.
