accton
—
enable/disable system accounting
accton |
[file] |
With an argument naming an existing file,
accton
causes system accounting information for
every process executed to be placed at the end of the file. If no argument
is given, accounting is turned off.
accton
is usually started at boot time,
and can be enabled by setting the following in
/etc/rc.conf.local:
accounting=YES
See rc(8) and rc.conf(8) for more information on the boot process and enabling daemons.
Log rotation of the default accounting file, /var/account/acct, is performed by the daily(8) maintenance script.
The accton
command has existed nearly
forever, but this man page is new.
