connect-time accounting

[ytang]

HI GURU,
I tried to track the time between login and logout for each user, no matter how many tty a user opens, or even don't open tty.
The accounting function of irix is incorrect.:
1. if a user open 3 ttys, and use for 10 mins, the total will be 30min.
2. if a user just browse internet. the connet time will be 0.
Is there a way to track the correct connect time, no matter what the user is doing??? I guess there should be someway. Irix is stupid or I am stupid.
Please help.

If you only want to check the login and logout for each user look at the /var/adm/SYSLOG file on their workstation. This will let you know the date and time the user logs in and out.

Hope this helps,

If you issue the 'last' command this will display each users login / logiut times with the final column showing the calculated time on the system.

You could add these times up manually, or be adventurous and write a script.
