The wracct utility allows the administrator to invoke the extended accounting system, if active, to write intermediate records representing the resource usage of a selected set of processes or tasks. For tasks, a record_type option is also supported,
allowing the administrator to request the writing of:
o
an interval record, which reflects task usage since a previous interval record (or since task creation if there is no interval record), or
o
a partial record, which reflects usage since task creation.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-iid_list
Select the IDs of the tasks or processes to write records for. Specify id_list as a comma- or space-separated list of IDs, presented as a single argument. For some
shells, this requires appropriate quoting of the argument.
-trecord_type
Select type of record to write for the selected task or process. For tasks, record_type can be partial or interval. partial
is the default type, and the only type available for process records.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
process
Treat the given ID as a process ID for the purposes of constructing and writing an extended accounting record.
task
Treat the given ID as a task ID for the purposes of constructing and writing an extended accounting record.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Writing a Partial Record
Write a partial record for all active sendmail processes.
# /usr/sbin/wracct -i "`pgrep sendmail`" process
Example 2 Writing an Interval Record
Write an interval record for the task with ID 182.
# /usr/sbin/wracct -t interval -i 182 task
