accton —
enable/disable system accounting
The accton utility is used for switching
system accounting on or off. If called with the argument
acctfile, system accounting is enabled. The
acctfile specified must exist prior to starting system
accounting, or accton will return an error. A record
of every process that is started by the
execve(2) system call and then later
exits the system is stored in acctfile. The
sa(8) command may be used to examine the
accounting records. If no arguments are given, system accounting is
disabled.
