.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBacctcon\fR converts a sequence of login/logoff records to total accounting
records (see the \fBtacct\fR format in \fBacct.h\fR(3HEAD)). The login/logoff
records are read from standard input.  The file \fB/var/adm/wtmpx\fR is usually
the source of the login/logoff records; however, because it might contain
corrupted records or system date changes, it should first be fixed using
\fBwtmpfix\fR. The fixed version of file \fB/var/adm/wtmpx\fR can then be
redirected to \fBacctcon\fR. The \fBtacct\fR records are written to standard
output.
.sp
.LP
\fBacctcon\fR is a combination of the programs \fBacctcon1\fR and
\fBacctcon2\fR. \fBacctcon1\fR converts login/logoff records, taken from the
fixed \fB/var/adm/wtmpx\fR file, to ASCII output. \fBacctcon2\fR reads the
ASCII records produced by \fBacctcon1\fR and converts them to \fBtacct\fR
records. \fBacctcon1\fR can be used with the \fB-l\fR and \fB-o\fR options,
described below, as well as with the \fB-p\fR and \fB-t\fR options.

.RS 14n
\fBacctcon1\fR maintains a list of lines on which users are logged in. When it
reaches the end of its input, it emits a session record for each line that
still appears to be active. It normally assumes that its input is a current
file, so that it uses the current time as the ending time for each session
still in progress. The \fB-t\fR flag causes it to use, instead, the last time
found in its input, thus assuring reasonable and repeatable numbers for
non-current files.

\fB\fB-l\fR \fIlineuse\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 14n
\fIlineuse\fR is created to contain a summary of line usage showing line name,
number of minutes used, percentage of total elapsed time used, number of
sessions charged, number of logins, and number of logoffs.  This file helps
track line usage, identify bad lines, and find software and hardware oddities.
Hangup, termination of \fBlogin\fR(1) and termination of the login shell each
generate logoff records, so that the number of logoffs is often three to four
times the number of sessions. See \fBinit\fR(8) and \fButmpx\fR(5).

\fBreboot\fR is filled with an overall record for the accounting period, giving
starting time, ending time, number of reboots, and number of date changes.

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
The line usage report is confused by date changes. Use \fBwtmpfix\fR (see
\fBfwtmp\fR(8)), with the \fB/var/adm/wtmpx\fR file as an argument, to correct
this situation.

.LP
During a single invocation of any given command, the \fBacctcon\fR,
\fBacctcon1\fR, and \fBacctcon2\fR commands can process a maximum of:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
6000 distinct session
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
1000 distinct terminal lines
.RE
.RS +4

.ie t \(bu
.el o

.RE
.sp
.LP
If at some point the actual  number of any one of these items exceeds the
maximum, the command will not succeed.
