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



NAME
     vpac - print raster printer/ploter accounting information

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/vpac [ -W ] [ -s ] [ -r ] [ -t ] [ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     _V_p_a_c reads the raster printer/plotter accounting files,
     accumulating the number of pages (for narrow fan-fold dev-
     ices) or feet (for wide, roll paper devices) of paper con-
     sumed by each user, and printing out how much each user con-
     sumed in pages or feet and dollars (billed at 2 cents / page
     or 8 cents / foot).  If any _n_a_m_e_s are specified, then
     statistics are only printed for those users; usually,
     statistics are printed for every user who has used any
     paper.

     The -W flag causes accounting to be done for a wide roll
     paper device.  The default is to do accounting for a narrow,
     fan-fold device.  The -t flag causes the output to be sorted
     by feet of paper; usually the output is sorted alphabeti-
     cally by name.  The -r flag reverses the sorting order.  The
     -s flag causes the accounting information to be summarized
     on the summary accounting file; this summarization is neces-
     sary since on a busy system, the accounting file can grow by
     several lines per day.

FILES

BUGS

     as yet unknown.
