I mucked around with the source of a piece of the 'cpint' package once
(thanks Neale!) -- to cut user (C1) accounting records from Linux..  It
would get executed before a user 'job' was run on Linux, and after - to
record the amount of usage.  The account code to use was passed as part of
the job.

Unfortunately I don't have access to this anymore - but I'm not sure it's
what you're really looking for so much as something to process accounting
records?  If so - I have some simple REXX code that does tallies of CPU time
(ttime) from accounting records by userid..  meant to run on z/VM.  Again -
not sure this is what you're after..
