Accounting log

The accounting log contains information needed for network charging. Upon completing a successful job transaction, accounting information is written to file /var/spool/uucp/.Admin/account. If the job transaction is a file transfer, then accounting information is written to file /var/spool/uucp/.Admin/account on the requesting site. If the job transaction is a remote execution, then accounting information is written to file /var/spool/uucp/.Admin/account on the executing (target) site.

Accounting is optional. Accounting information is collected only if an account file exists and is writable by uucp; the file is not created automatically. The system administrator can therefore start or stop accounting by creating or removing the accounting log.

The following is a typical accounting log entry:

user jobID size status class grade origsys origlogin \
time destsys destlogin device netID type command

where:


user

jobID

size
size of job in bytes if the job transaction is a file transfer; time of job in seconds if the job transaction is a remote execution.

C = job completed. P = partial job completed.

destsys
