NAME
      wracct  -  write  extended  accounting  records  for  active
      processes and tasks
 


SYNOPSIS
      /usr/sbin/wracct [ -trecord_type ]  i id_list  {task |  pro-
      cess}
 


DESCRIPTION
      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  a  partial  record,  which leaves the current task usage
      unchanged, or an interval  record,  which  resets  the  task
      usage  to  zero  for  that  system task, with respect to the
      extended accounting subsystem.
       If interval records are used, the total task usage  is  the
      sum of all interval
       records and the final record written at the task's  comple-
      tion.  If  partial  records  are used, the completion record
      reflects the total resource usage.
 
 


OPTIONS
      The following options are supported:
 
      -i  id_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.
 
      -t record_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 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.
