NAME

holidays– prime/nonprime table for the accounting system

SYNOPSIS

/etc/acct/holidays

DESCRIPTION

The /etc/acct/holidays file describes which hours are considered prime time and which days are holidays. Holidays and weekends are considered non-prime time hours. /etc/acct/holidays is used by the accounting system.

All lines beginning with an "*" are comments.

The /etc/acct/holidays file consists of two sections. The first non-comment line defines the current year and the start time of prime and non-prime time hours, in the form:

current_year      prime_start      non_prime_start

The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form:

month/day     company_holiday

Of these two fields, only the month/day is actually used by the accounting system programs.

The /etc/acct/holidays file must be updated each year.
