&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;SA(1M)              UNIX Programmer's Manual               SA(1M)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== NAME ==&lt;br /&gt;
     sa, accton - system accounting&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== SYNOPSIS ==&lt;br /&gt;
     sa [ -abcjlnrstuv ] [ file ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     /etc/accton [ file ]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== DESCRIPTION ==&lt;br /&gt;
     With an argument naming an existing _f_i_l_e, _a_c_c_t_o_n causes sys-&lt;br /&gt;
     tem accounting information for every process executed to be&lt;br /&gt;
     placed at the end of the file.  If no arguemnt is given,&lt;br /&gt;
     accounting is turned off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     _S_a reports on, cleans up, and generally maintains accounting&lt;br /&gt;
     files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     _S_a is able to condense the information in /_u_s_r/_a_d_m/_a_c_c_t into&lt;br /&gt;
     a summary file /_u_s_r/_a_d_m/_s_a_v_a_c_c_t which contains a count of&lt;br /&gt;
     the number of times each command was called and the time&lt;br /&gt;
     resources consumed.  This condensation is desirable because&lt;br /&gt;
     on a large system /_u_s_r/_a_d_m/_a_c_c_t can grow by 100 blocks per&lt;br /&gt;
     day.  The summary file is read before the accounting file,&lt;br /&gt;
     so the reports include all available information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     If a file name is given as the last argument, that file will&lt;br /&gt;
     be treated as the accounting file; /_u_s_r/_a_d_m/_a_c_c_t is the&lt;br /&gt;
     default.  There are zillions of options:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     a    Place all command names containing unprintable charac-&lt;br /&gt;
          ters and those used only once under the name&lt;br /&gt;
          `***other.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     b    Sort output by sum of user and system time divided by&lt;br /&gt;
          number of calls.  Default sort is by sum of user and&lt;br /&gt;
          system times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     c    Besides total user, system, and real time for each com-&lt;br /&gt;
          mand print percentage of total time over all commands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     j    Instead of total minutes time for each category, give&lt;br /&gt;
          seconds per call.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     l    Separate system and user time; normally they are com-&lt;br /&gt;
          bined.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     m    Print number of processes and number of CPU minutes for&lt;br /&gt;
          each user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     n    Sort by number of calls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     r    Reverse order of sort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     s    Merge accounting file into summary file&lt;br /&gt;
          /_u_s_r/_a_d_m/_s_a_v_a_c_c_t when done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     t    For each command report ratio of real time to the sum&lt;br /&gt;
          of user and system times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     u    Superseding all other flags, print for each command in&lt;br /&gt;
          the accounting file the user ID and command name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     v    If the next character is a digit _n, then type the name&lt;br /&gt;
          of each command used _n times or fewer.  Await a reply&lt;br /&gt;
          from the terminal; if it begins with `y', add the com-&lt;br /&gt;
          mand to the category `**junk**.' This is used to strip&lt;br /&gt;
          out garbage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== FILES ==&lt;br /&gt;
     /usr/adm/acct  raw accounting&lt;br /&gt;
     /usr/adm/savacct    summary&lt;br /&gt;
     /usr/adm/usracct    per-user summary&lt;br /&gt;
