runacct \- run daily accounting
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fB/usr/lib/acct/runacct\fR [\fImmdd\fR [\fIstate\fR]]
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBrunacct\fR is the main daily accounting shell procedure. It is normally
initiated using  \fBcron\fR. \fBrunacct\fR processes connect, fee, disk, and
process accounting files. It also prepares summary files for \fBprdaily\fR or
billing purposes. \fBrunacct\fR is distributed only to source code licensees.
.sp
.LP
\fBrunacct\fR takes care not to damage active accounting files or summary files
in the event of errors. It records its progress by writing descriptive
diagnostic messages into \fBactive\fR. When an error is detected, a message is
written to \fB/dev/console\fR, mail (see \fBmail\fR(1)) is sent to \fBroot\fR
and \fBadm\fR, and \fBrunacct\fR terminates. \fBrunacct\fR uses a series of
lock files to protect against re-invocation. The files \fBlock\fR and
\fBlock1\fR are used to prevent simultaneous invocation, and \fBlastdate\fR is
used to prevent more than one invocation per day.
.sp
.LP
\fBrunacct\fR breaks its processing into separate, restartable \fIstates\fR
using \fBstatefile\fR to remember the last \fIstate\fR completed. It
accomplishes this by writing the \fIstate\fR name into \fBstatefile\fR.
\fBrunacct\fR then looks in \fBstatefile\fR to see what it has done and to
determine what to process next. \fIstates\fR are executed in the following
order:

\fB\fBCLEANUP\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 14n
Clean up temporary files and exit. To restart \fBrunacct\fR after a failure,
first check the \fBactive\fR file for diagnostics, then fix any corrupted data
files, such as \fBpacct\fR or \fBwtmpx\fR. The \fBlock\fR, \fBlock1\fR, and
\fBlastdate\fR files must be removed  before \fBrunacct\fR can be restarted.
The argument \fImmdd\fR is necessary if \fBrunacct\fR is being restarted.
\fImmdd\fR specifies the month and day for which \fBrunacct\fR will rerun the
accounting. The entry point for processing is based on the contents of \fB
statefile\fR; to override this, include the desired \fIstate\fR on the command
line to designate where processing should begin.

simultaneously.
