NAME
       accton -- enable/disable	system accounting

SYNOPSIS
       accton [acctfile]

DESCRIPTION
       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 ac-
       counting	records.  If no	arguments are given, system accounting is dis-
       abled.

FILES
       /var/account/acct  default accounting file
