NAME
       acctcms - command summary from per-process accounting records

SYNOPSIS
       [options] files

DESCRIPTION
       reads one or more files, normally in the form described in acct(4).  It
       adds all records for processes  that  executed  identically-named  com‐
       mands,  sorts  them,  and  writes them to the standard output, normally
       using an internal summary format.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Print output in
		      ASCII rather than in the internal summary	 format.   The
		      output  includes command name, number of times executed,
		      total kcore-minutes, total CPU minutes, total real  min‐
		      utes, mean size (in K), mean CPU minutes per invocation,
		      ``hog factor'', characters transferred, and blocks  read
		      and  written,  as	 in  acctcom(1M).   Output is normally
		      sorted by total kcore-minutes.

	      Sort by total
		      CPU time, rather than total kcore-minutes.

	      Combine all commands invoked only once under

	      Sort by number of command invocations.

	      Any file names encountered hereafter  are	 already  in  internal
	      summary format.

	      Process all records as total accounting records.
		      The  default  internal  summary format splits each field
		      into prime- and non-prime-time parts.  This option  com‐
		      bines  the  prime and non-prime time parts into a single
		      field that is the total of  both,	 and  provides	upward
		      compatibility  with  old	(i.e.,	UNIX  System  V) style
		      internal summary format records.

       The following options can be used only with the option.

	      Output a prime-time-only command summary.

	      Output a non-prime- (offshift) time only command summary.

       When and are used together, a  combination  prime  and  non-prime  time
       report  is  produced.   All the output summaries are total usage except
       number of times executed, CPU minutes, and real minutes which are split
       into prime and non-prime.

EXAMPLES
       A  typical  sequence  for  performing  daily command accounting and for
       maintaining a running total is:

WARNINGS
       Unpredictable output results if is used on new-style  internal-summary-
       format files, or if it is not used with old style internal summary for‐
       mat files.
