DUMP-ACCT(8) GNU Accounting Utilities DUMP-ACCT(8)
NAME
dump-acct - print an acct file in human-readable format.
SYNOPSIS
dump-acct [-r|--reverse] [-R|--raw] [--format] version] [--byteswap] [--ahz] hertz]
[-n|--num recs] [-h|--help] [ files]
DESCRIPTION
dump-acct filename prints a list of all executed processes. This list is written by the
kernel which must be compiled with BSD process accounting enabled (Debian kernel image
have it already enabled). It must be started with accton(5). Note that on Debian systems,
this is ensured via the init script /etc/init.d/acct.
All fields are separated by vertical line. Fields are: command, version, user time, system
time, effective time, uid, gid, memory, io, pid, ppid, time. User, system and effective
times are ticks per second. One tick is usually 1/50 of a second. The time field shows the
start time of the process.
The --raw switch, as well as the --format, --byteswap, and --ahz can be used as a handy
format converter.
