NAME
     accton -- enable/disable system accounting

SYNOPSIS
     accton [acctfile]

DESCRIPTION

     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
