How to Restart the runacct Script

1. Remove the lastdate file and any lock* files, if any.

   $ cd /var/adm/acct/nite $ rm lastdate lock*

   The lastdate file contains the date that the runacct program was last run. Restarting runacct in the next step recreates this file.

2. Restart the runacct script.

   $ /usr/lib/acct/runacct MMDD [state] 2> /var/adm/acct/nite/fd2log &

   MMDD	Month and day specified by two-digit numbers.
   state	Specifies a state, or starting point, where the runacct processing should begin.
