NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     acctmerg -	merge or add total accounting files

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     /usr/lib/acct/acctmerg [-a] [-i] [-p] [-t]	[-u] [-v] [file] ...

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     acctmerg reads its	standard input and up to nine additional files,	all in
     the tacct format (see acct(4)), or	an ASCII version thereof.  It merges
     these inputs by adding records whose keys (normally user ID and name) are
     identical and expects the inputs to be sorted on those keys.  Options
     are:

     -a	  Produce output in ASCII version of tacct.

     -i	  Input	files are in ASCII version of tacct.

     -p	  Print	input with no processing.

     -t	  Produce a single record that totals all input.

     -u	  Summarize by user ID,	rather than user ID and	name.

     -v	  Produce output in verbose ASCII format, with more precise notation
	  for floating-point numbers.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

     The following sequence is useful for making repairs to any	file kept in
     this format:

	  acctmerg -v <	file1 <b>>	file2

     Edit file2	as desired.

	  acctmerg -i <	file2 <b>>	file1
