Hello misc@, a question that bugged me for quite a while:
Why is the accounting in /etc/monthly? I reffer to these (commented out) lines: #echo "" #echo "Doing login accounting:" #ac -p | sort -nr +1 # #echo "." If I uncomment them (as suggested in "Absolute OpenBSD" to get some basic accounting (or just to find out HOW much time I spend in front of the screen). I get a report ever month, BUT now the problem: The way I read "man 8 ac" it states <quote> The default wtmp file will increase without bound unless it is truncated. It is normally truncated by the daily scripts run by cron(8), which re- name and rotate the wtmp files, keeping a week's worth of data on hand. No login or connect time accounting is performed if /var/log/wtmp does not exist. </quote> Doesn't this mean that I only get accounting for the last week of the month? Shouldn't the lines above moved to /etc/weekly? Did I miss something, or is this the intended behavior (for what reason)? Regards, ahb
