How to Deactivate Process, Task, and Flow Accounting

To deactivate process, task, and flow accounting, turn off each of them individually by using the acctadm command with the -x option.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Using the Solaris Management Tools With RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

   # acctadm -x process

3. Turn off task accounting.

   # acctadm -x task

4. Turn off flow accounting.

   # acctadm -x flow

5. Verify that task accounting, process accounting, and flow accounting have been turned off.
