Note: The most common reason why the runacct command can fail are because:
- The system goes down
- The /usr file system runs out of space
- The /var/adm/wtmp file has records with inconsistent date stamps.
If the runacct command is unsuccessful, do the following:
nohup runacct 0601 2>> \ /var/adm/acct/nite/accterr &
This restarts the runacct program for June 1 (0601). The runacct program reads the /var/adm/acct/nite/statefile file to find out with which state to begin. All standard error output is appended to the /var/adm/acct/nite/accterr file.
nohup runacct 0601 MERGE 2>> \ /var/adm/acct/nite/accterr &
