ACS - accounting status.

Syntax:

acs [userid]* [options]*

(+|-)Verbose (+) +Rawdump

Examples:

acs
acs fbaggins jrdoe   (privileged)
acs -Verbose

Options:

-Verbose
displays the SMC values on a single line. This is a very terse form.
userid
displays the accounting statistics for "userid". Any number of userids may be given. This option is privileged.
+Rawdump
dumps the contents of the SMC in octal. This option is also privileged.

Description:

When invoked without arguments, ACS displays your current accounting statistics and information from your SMC (System Master Catalog) entry.

If you specify a list of arguments, they are assumed to be a list of userids and ACS displays accounting information for each user. Only privileged users can use this option.

The verbose (default) form of the command displays information in the following format:

fbaggins:
$ 1799.04 / 5000.00 (36.0%)
  613 / 636 llinks (23 available), 30 Catalog llinks
filespace change on Tue Oct  9 1987 at 12:36
password  change on Tue Oct  9 1987
ACS only displays the userid when this is not the same as the person who invoked the command. The second line displays the resources used to date not including this session, the quota allocated to the userid, and the percentage used.

If the ratio is greater than 100 per cent, the message "resources overdrawn N%" is displayed the next time the user signs on.

The third line displays the number of llinks used for file space and the quota allocated to the userid. If the percentage used is greater then 88 per cent, ACS displays a message indicating how many llinks file space are available; otherwise it displays the percentage in use. The "N Catalog llinks" tells the number of llinks being used for FMS catalog space. This is the space used for catalogs, file descriptors, permissions etc.

An optional "Permissions:" line may follow, indicating any special permissions the user may have. If there are no permissions, this line does not appear. The following permissions are allowed:

Lodx   - Permission to run own programs.
Cardin - Permission to run batch jobs.
Talk   - Allows connection via JDAC to batch job.
Lods   - Allows use of privileged command loader.

The "file space change" indicates the last time that a file was created, grown, or destroyed under the userid.

The "password change" date is the last time that the user's password was changed.

Known Bugs:

If a userid is not used for a year following the last space change, the year portion of that date will be wrong. This is because the year is not saved, so ACS must make an educated guess based on the current date.
