csackpacct  -  checks  the  size of the process accounting
       file


SYNOPSIS

       //uussrr//ssbbiinn//ccssaacckkppaacccctt [blocks]


DESCRIPTION

       The ccssaacckkppaacccctt script checks the size of the  CSA  process
       accounting  file  //vvaarr//ccssaa//ppaacccctt  and checks the amount of
       free space  on  the  filesystem  containing  the  //vvaarr//ccssaa
       directory.   If  the  size  of the ppaacccctt file exceeds 4000
       blocks  (default)  or  exceeds  the  specified  number  of
       bblloocckkss,  ccssaacckkppaacccctt starts a new accounting file by invok­
       ing the csaswitch(8) command.  When accounting is enabled,
       the  ccssaasswwiittcchh  command is called with the --cc oonn option by
       default.  You can modify the  behavior  of  the  ccssaasswwiittcchh
       command to enable additional daemon or continuation record
       types and set threshold values by setting  the  applicable
       values in the //eettcc//ccssaa..ccoonnff file.  For additional informa­
       tion, see the csaswitch(8) man page.

       AACCCCTT_FFSS is a parameter which  defines  the  filesystem  on
       which //vvaarr//ccssaa//aacccctt resides and is defined in the account­
       ing configuration file //eettcc//ccssaa..ccoonnff.  The MMIINN_BBLLKKSS param­
       eter also is defined there.

       ccssaacckkppaacccctt  also  ensures that the AACCCCTT_FFSS filesystem con­
       tains at least MMIINN_BBLLKKSS free blocks.  If there is not this
       much  free  space,  ccssaacckkppaacccctt turns off CSA accounting by
       invoking csaswitch(8) with the hhaalltt  operand.   ccssaacckkppaacccctt
       calls  csaswitch(8)  with the oonn operand to re-enable pro­
       cess accounting when at least  MMIINN_BBLLKKSS  free  blocks  are
       available.

       This feature is sensitive to the frequency at which ccssaacckk­­
       ppaacccctt is executed.  You should run ccssaacckkppaacccctt periodically
       using the cron(8) command.

       The ccssaacckkppaacccctt script accepts the following operand:

       blocks    Specifies  the maximum size (in blocks) to which
                 the CSA process accounting file can grow  before
                 it is switched.  The default is 4000 blocks.

       In  the  released template of the accounting configuration
       file, //eettcc//ccssaa..ccoonnff, AACCCCTT_FFSS is set to //vvaarr//ccssaa.  If  this
       is  not  correct  for your system, you must define AACCCCTT_FFSS
       properly in //eettcc//ccssaa..ccoonnff.


EXAMPLES

       The following example is a suggested entry  for  the  root
       ccrroonnttaabb file so that cron(8) automatically runs ccssaacckkppaacccctt
       on the hour:
