Calculating User Fees

The chargefee utility stores charges for special services provided to a user, such as file restoration, in the /var/adm/fee file. Each entry in the file consists of a user login name, user ID, and the fee. This file is checked by the runacct script every day and new entries are merged into the accounting records. For instructions on running the chargefee script to bill users, see How to Bill Users.
