    ACCTD(8)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		 ACCTD(8)

    NAME
         acctd - system accounting daemon

    SYNOPSIS
         acctd [-d]

    DESCRIPTION
         Acctd reads accounting records from the kernel's accounting
         driver (/dev/acctlog) and writes the records to a file for
         later analysis.  The accton(8) program is used to update (or
         create) the config file (/etc/acctd.cf).

         Acctd(8) reads the config file upon startup and reciept of a
         SIGHUP signal.  If a SIGTERM signal is received the account-
         ing file is closed and the daemon exits.  The one option is:

         -d        Enable debugging mode.  Currently no debugging
    	       logic is present.

    FILES
         /etc/acctd.cf	 The configuration file.  Must be owned
    			 by root and writeable only by root.
    			 This file, while simple text, is not
    			 meant for human editing since the parse
    			 is simpleminded and the daemon is
    			 paranoid.
