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.
