NAME
vpac - print raster printer/ploter accounting information

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

DESCRIPTION
Vpac reads the raster printer/plotter accounting files, accumulating the number of pages (for narrow fan-fold devices) or feet (for wide, roll paper devices) of paper consumed by each user, and printing out how much each user consumed in pages or feet and dollars (billed at 2 cents / page or 8 cents / foot). If any names 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 alphabetically 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 necessary since on a busy system, the accounting file can grow by several lines per day.

FILES
/usr/adm/v?acct    raw accounting files
