We need to charge our users for their time on certain of our systems
and don't have the money to buy commercial software.
We are trying to use the basic accounting system that is already
available on RedHat systems.
A few of the systems on which we need accounting are at 2.4.18-26.7.x;
we are upgrading them to
2.4.21-27.0.4.EL
Why does the output from the ac program not agree with the output from
the last command for a specific user?
We want only to charge the person for a login session at the console,
from login to logout. Is there a way to pick out those times from jobs
that the user might have left running in the background or jobs that
he/she starts remotely?
