.Sh DESCRIPTION
1997-03-06 08:19:10 +03:00
If the file
1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
.Pa /var/log/wtmp
1997-03-06 08:19:10 +03:00
exists,
a record of individual
login and logout times are written to it by
1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
.Xr login 8
and
.Xr init 8 ,
respectively.
1997-03-06 08:19:10 +03:00
The program
.Nm
examines these
records and writes the accumulated connect time for all logins to the
standard output.

Options available:
1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
.Bl -tag -width indentXXX
.It Fl d
Display the connect times in 24 hour chunks.
.It Fl p
1997-03-06 08:19:10 +03:00
Display individual user totals.
1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
.It Fl t Ar tty
Only do accounting logins on certain ttys. The
.Ar tty
specification can start with '!' to indicate not this
.Ar tty
and end with '*' to indicate all similarly named ttys.
Multiple
.Fl t
flags may be specified.
1997-03-06 08:19:10 +03:00
.It Fl w Ar file
Read raw connect time data from
.Ar file
instead of the default file
1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
.Pa /var/log/wtmp .
.It Ar users ...
1997-03-06 08:19:10 +03:00
Display totals for the given individuals
only.
1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
.El
.Pp
If no arguments are given,
1997-03-06 08:19:10 +03:00
.Nm
displays the total amount of login time for all active accounts on the
system.
1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
.Pp
The default
.Pa wtmp
1997-03-06 08:19:10 +03:00
file is an infinitely increasing file
unless frequently truncated. This is normally
done by the daily daemon scripts scheduled by
1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
.Xr cron 8 ,
which rename and rotate the
.Pa wtmp
1997-03-06 08:19:10 +03:00
files before truncating them (and keep about a week's worth on hand).
No login times are collected, however, if the file does not exist.
1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
.Pp
For example,
.Bd -literal -offset
ac -p -t "ttyd*" > modems
ac -p -t "!ttyd*" > other
.Ed
.Pp
allows times recorded in
.Pa modems
to be charged out at a different rate than
.Pa other .

1994-03-29 16:40:06 +04:00
