max_acct_file_size(5)					 max_acct_file_size(5)

NAME
       max_acct_file_size - defines the maximum accounting file size

VALUES
   Failsafe
   Default
   Allowed values
   Recommended values
DESCRIPTION
       is a dynamic tunable that limits the maximum accounting file size.  See
       acct(2) and acct(4).  If was set to a value that is not a  multiple  of
       the  accounting	record	size,  the  accounting file size limit will be
       rounded up to the next full record silently unless the maximum limit is
       reached.	 In  this case, the accounting file size limit will be rounded
       down to the nearest full record silently.

       The only exception to this rule is when	the  is	 set  to  its  default
       value.  The system will accept 2,560,000 without rounding up even if it
       was not a multiple of the accounting record size. This is done to  pre‐
       serve binary compatibility with previous releases of HP-UX.

   Who is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       System  administrators  that  wish  to  allow  accounting files to grow
       beyond the default.

   Restrictions on Changing
       None.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
       If there is a need for larger accounting files than the default.

   What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Value?
       Accounting tools that assume accounting files no more than  2.5	MB  in
       size might not be able to handle larger files.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Lowered?
       The  default  value  is	also  the  minimum value.  If the value of was
       raised it can be lowered again  if  large  accounting  files  were  not
       desired.

   What Are the Side Effects of Lowering the Value?
       None.

   What Other Tunable Values Should Be Changed at the Same Time?
       None.

EXAMPLES
       The  below  examples  explain  the behavior of the accounting subsystem
       when the tunable value is not a multiple of the accounting record size.
       It also considers the accounting record size as 44, which is subject to
       change across releases.

   Example 1:
       is set to 3000000.  will report the tunable value as 3000000.  However,
       the  actual accounting file size limit will be rounded to the next full
       record size which is 3000008.

   Example 2:
       is set to 2147483645.  will report the  tunable	value  as  2147483645.
       The  next full record size will be 2147483668 which is greater than the
       tunable max value of 2,147,483,647.  Hence the actual  accounting  file
       size  limit  will  be rounded to the previous full record size which is
       2147483624.

WARNINGS
       All HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific.  This parame‐
       ter  may	 be  removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of
       HP-UX.

       Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may
       cause  changes  to  tunable parameter values.  After installation, some
       tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended  val‐
       ues.  For information about the effects of installation on tunable val‐
       ues, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.
       For  information	 about	optional  kernel  software  that  was  factory
       installed on your system, see at
