nacctstats FAQ

Installation

How can I read the man page?

The manual is provided in the package's file nacctstats.1. If you want to read it you have to process it with groff first. On most systems this can be done by calling man in this special way: man -l nacctstats.1

Usage

I started nacctstats and it does nothing. What is wrong?

Nothing is wrong except that you are not acquainted with the Unix philosophy. Or that you haven't read the man page carefully enough. The choice is up to you. Make sure that you understand the concept of pipes and then pipe the output of the log files through nacctstats. Here is an example: cat net-acct.log | nacctstats.pl > output.file
