System Administration Commands runacct(1M)
NAME
runacct - run daily accounting
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/acct/runacct [ mmdd [state]]
DESCRIPTION
runacct is the main daily accounting shell procedure. It is
normally initiated using cron. runacct processes connect,
fee, disk, and process accounting files. It also prepares
summary files for prdaily or billing purposes. runacct is
distributed only to source code licensees.
runacct takes care not to damage active accounting files or
summary files in the event of errors. It records its pro-
gress by writing descriptive diagnostic messages into
active. When an error is detected, a message is written to
/dev/console, mail (see mail(1)) is sent to root and adm,
and runacct terminates. runacct uses a series of lock files
to protect against re-invocation. The files lock and lock1
are used to prevent simultaneous invocation, and lastdate is
used to prevent more than one invocation per day.
runacct breaks its processing into separate, restartable
states using statefile to remember the last state completed.
It accomplishes this by writing the state name into sta-
tefile. runacct then looks in statefile to see what it has
done and to determine what to process next. states are exe-
cuted in the following order:
SETUP Move active accounting files into working
files.
WTMPFIX Verify integrity of wtmpx file, correcting
date changes if necessary.
CONNECT Produce connect session records in tacct.h
format.
PROCESS Convert process accounting records into
tacct.h format.
MERGE Merge the connect and process accounting
records.

System Administration Commands runacct(1M)
FEES Convert output of chargefee into tacct.h
format, merge with connect, and process
accounting records.
DISK Merge disk accounting records with connect,
process, and fee accounting records.
MERGETACCT Merge the daily total accounting records in
daytacct with the summary total accounting
records in /var/adm/acct/sum/tacct.
CMS Produce command summaries.
USEREXIT Any installation dependent accounting pro-
grams can be included here.
CLEANUP Clean up temporary files and exit. To res-
tart runacct after a failure, first check
the active file for diagnostics, then fix
any corrupted data files, such as pacct or
wtmpx. The lock, lock1, and lastdate files
must be removed before runacct can be res-
tarted. The argument mmdd is necessary if
runacct is being restarted. mmdd specifies
the month and day for which runacct will
rerun the accounting. The entry point for
processing is based on the contents of sta-
tefile; to override this, include the
desired state on the command line to desig-
nate where processing should begin.

NOTES
It is not recommended to restart runacct in the SETUP state.
Run SETUP manually and restart using:
runacct mmdd WTMPFIX
If runacct failed in the PROCESS state, remove the last
ptacct file because it will not be complete.
The runacct command can process a maximum of
o 6000 distinct sessions
o 1000 distinct terminal lines
o 2000 distinct login names
during a single invocation of the command. If at some point
the actual number of any one of these items exceeds the max-
imum, the command will not succeed.
Do not invoke runacct at the same time as ckpacct, as there
may be a conflict if both scripts attempt to execute tur-
nacct switch simultaneously.
