| | acctadm - configure extended accounting facility |
SYNOPSIS
| | /usr/sbin/acctadm [-DErux] [-d resource_list] [-e resource_list] [-f filename] [task | process] |
| |
acctadm configures various attributes of the extended accounting facility. Without arguments, acctadm displays the current status of the extended accounting facility.
|
| |
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.
- -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.

The -d, -D, -e, -E, -f, and -x options require an operand.
The following operands are supported:
- process
- Run acctadm on the process accounting components of the extended account facility.
- task
- Run acctadm on the task accounting components of the extended account facility.
The optional final parameter to acctadm represents whether the command should act on the process or system task accounting components of the extended account facility.

| | Example 1. Displaying current status
| |
The following command displays the current status. In this example, system task accounting is active and tracking only CPU resources. Process accounting is not active.
| |
$ acctadm
Task accounting: active
Task accounting file: /var/adm/exacct/task
Tracked task resources: extended,mstate
Untracked task resources: host
Process accounting: inactive
Process accounting file: none
Tracked process resources: none
Untracked process resources: extended,host,mstate
|
|
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,flag
basic pid,uid,gid,cpu,time,command,tty,flag
task:
extended taskid,projid,cpu,time,host,mstate,anctaskid
basic taskid,projid,cpu,time
|
|
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
basic taskid,projid,cpu,time
|
|
|
| |
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 modifying the accounting configuration.
