NAME
accton —
enable/disable system
accounting
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
With an argument naming an existing
file,
accton causes system accounting information for every
process executed to be placed at the end of the file. If no argument is given,
accounting is turned off.
The default accounting file is
/var/account/acct. Typically,
accounting is enabled by rc scripts during the boot process. In
NetBSD, one may enable accounting by setting the
variable “accounting” to “YES” in
/etc/rc.conf.
Note that, traditionally, the system accounting log file can not be rotated
cleanly by
newsyslog(8).
Instead, a default installation of
NetBSD rotates
/var/account/acct using the
/etc/daily
script.
FILES
- /var/account/acct
