nite/lineuse

runacct calls acctcon to gather data on terminal line usage from /var/adm/acct/nite/tmpwtmp and writes the data to /var/adm/acct/nite/lineuse. prdaily uses this data to report line usage. This report is especially useful for detecting bad lines. If the ratio between the number of logouts to logins is greater than about three to one, there is a good possibility that the line is failing.

nite/daytacct

This file is the total accounting file for the day in tacct.h format.

sum/tacct

This file is the accumulation of each day's nite/daytacct and can be used for billing purposes. It is restarted each month or fiscal period by the monacct procedure.

sum/daycms

runacct calls acctcms to process the data about the commands used during the day. This information is stored in /var/adm/acct/sum/daycms. It contains the daily command summary. The ASCII version of this file is /var/adm/acct/nite/daycms.

sum/cms

This file is the accumulation of each day's command summaries. It is restarted by the execution of monacct. The ASCII version is nite/cms.

sum/loginlog

runacct calls lastlogin to update the last date logged in for the logins in /var/adm/acct/sum/loginlog. lastlogin also removes from this file logins that are no longer valid.

sum/rprt.MMDD

Each execution of runacct saves a copy of the daily report that was printed by prdaily.
