常用示例
Enable process accounting
sudo accton [/var/log/account/pacct]
Disable process accounting
sudo accton off
Check the current accounting status
sudo accton
说明
accton enables or disables system process accounting, a kernel feature that records information about every process that terminates on the system. When enabled, the kernel writes a compact record for each completed process, including the command name, CPU time used, memory consumption, and exit status. With no arguments, accton displays the current accounting status. Specifying a file path enables accounting to that file. The off argument disables accounting. The accounting data can be analyzed using companion tools like sa (summarize accounting) and lastcomm (show last commands executed). This information is valuable for system auditing, resource usage analysis, and troubleshooting.
