NAME
     wracct  -  write  extended  accounting  records  for  active
     processes and tasks

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sbin/wracct -i id_list [-t record_type]
          {process | task}


DESCRIPTION
     The wracct utility allows the administrator  to  invoke  the
     extended accounting system, if active, to write intermediate
     records representing the resource usage of a selected set of
     processes  or tasks. For tasks, a record_type option is also
     supported, allowing the administrator to request the writing
     of:

         o    an interval record, which reflects task usage since
              a  previous interval record (or since task creation
              if there is no interval record), or

         o    a partial record, which reflects usage  since  task
              creation.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -i id_list        Select the IDs of the tasks  or  processes
                       to write records for. Specify id_list as a
                       comma- or  space-separated  list  of  IDs,
                       presented  as  a single argument. For some
                       shells, this requires appropriate  quoting
                       of the argument.


     -t record_type    Select type of record  to  write  for  the
                       selected   task  or  process.  For  tasks,
                       record_type can be  partial  or  interval.
                       partial  is the default type, and the only
                       type available for process records.


OPERANDS
     The following operands are supported:

     process    Treat the given ID as a process ID for  the  pur-
                poses  of  constructing  and  writing an extended
                accounting record.


     task       Treat the given ID as a task ID for the  purposes
                of   constructing   and   writing   an   extended
