System Administration Commands                        acctadm(1M)



NAME
     acctadm - configure extended accounting facility

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/acctadm   [-DErux]    [-d    resource_list]    [-e
     resource_list] [-f filename] [task | process | flow]

DESCRIPTION
     acctadm  configures  various  attributes  of  the   extended
     accounting facility. Without arguments, acctadm displays the
     current status of the extended accounting facility.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -d resource_list        Disable reporting of resource  usage
                             for  resource. Specify resource_list
                             as   a   comma-separated   list   of
                             resources or resource groups.

                             This option requires an operand. See
                             OPERANDS.



     -D                      Disable  accounting  of  the   given
                             operand  type  without  closing  the
                             accounting file. This option can  be
                             used  to  temporarily  stop  writing
                             accounting records to the accounting
                             file  without  closing  it. To close
                             the file use the -x option. See -x.



     -e resource_list        Enable reporting of  resource  usage
                             for  resource. Specify resource_list
                             as   a   comma-separated   list   of
                             resources or resource groups.

                             This option requires an operand. See
                             OPERANDS.



     -E                      Enable  accounting  of   the   given
                             operand  type  without  sending  the
                             accounting output to  a  file.  This
                             option   requires  an  operand.  See
                             OPERANDS.

System Administration Commands                        acctadm(1M)



     -f filename             Send the accounting output  for  the
                             given  operand  type to filename. If
                             filename exists,  its  contents  are
                             lost.

                             This option requires an operand. See
                             OPERANDS.



     -r                      Display available resource groups.

                             When this option  is  used  with  an
                             operand, it displays resource groups
                             available  for  a  given  accounting
                             type.  When no operand is specified,
                             this option displays resource groups
                             for  all available accounting types.
                             See OPERANDS.



     -u                      Configure accounting  based  on  the
                             contents of /etc/acctadm.conf.



     -x                      Deactivate accounting of  the  given
                             operand   type.   This  option  also
                             closes the accounting file  for  the
                             given   accounting  type  if  it  is
                             currently open.

                             This option requires an operand. See
                             OPERANDS.



OPERANDS
     The -d, -D, -e, -E, -f, and -x options require an operand.

     The following operands are supported:

     process                 Run acctadm on the process  account-
                             ing   components   of  the  extended
                             accounting facility.



     task                    Run acctadm on the  task  accounting
                             components  of the extended account-
                             ing facility.

System Administration Commands                        acctadm(1M)



     flow                    Run acctadm on the IPQoS  accounting
                             components  of the extended account-
                             ing facility.



     The optional final parameter to acctadm  represents  whether
     the  command should act on the process, system task or IPQoS
     accounting components of the extended accounting facility.

EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Displaying the Current Status

     The following command displays the current status.  In  this
     example,  system task accounting is active and tracking only
     CPU resources. Process and flow accounting are not active.

     $ acctadm
                 Task accounting: active
            Task accounting file: /var/adm/exacct/task
          Tracked task resources: extended
        Untracked task resources: host
              Process accounting: inactive
         Process accounting file: none
       Tracked process resources: none
     Untracked process resources: extended,host
                 Flow accounting: inactive
            Flow accounting file: none
          Tracked flow resources: none
        Untracked flow resources: extended

     Example 2: Activating Basic Process Accounting

     The following command activates basic process accounting:

     $ acctadm -e basic -f /var/adm/exacct/proc process

     Example 3: Displaying Available Resource Groups

     The following command displays available resource groups:

     $ acctadm -r
       process:
       extended pid,uid,gid,cpu,time,command,tty,projid, \
       taskid,ancpid,wait-status,zone,flag,memory,mstate
       basic    pid,uid,gid,cpu,time,command,tty,flag
       task:
       extended taskid,projid,cpu,time,host,mstate,anctaskid,zone
       basic    taskid,projid,cpu,time
       flow:
       extended saddr,daddr,sport,dport,proto,dsfield,nbytes,npkts, \
       action,ctime,lseen,projid,uid

System Administration Commands                        acctadm(1M)



       basic    saddr,daddr,sport,dport,proto,nbytes,npkts,action

     In the output above, the lines beginning with  extended  are
     shown  with a backslash character. In actual acctadm output,
     these lines are displayed as unbroken, long lines.

     Example 4: Displaying Resource Groups for Task Accounting

     The following command  displays  resource  groups  for  task
     accounting:

     $ acctadm -r task
       extended taskid,projid,cpu,time,host,mstate,anctaskid,zone
       basic    taskid,projid,cpu,time

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0        Successful completion.

              The modifications to the current configuration were
              valid and made successfully.



     1        An error occurred.

               A fatal error occured either in obtaining or modi-
              fying   the accounting configuration.



     2        Invalid command line options were specified.
