retention of pacct files
Hello
Can somebody enlighten me as to what controls the age of performance accounting (or pacct) files that are retained on the system. My pacct files wrap at ~4am per HP suggested cron entries of:
# HP Proc accounting
0 1,6,12,18 * * * /usr/sbin/acct/ckpacct 1000
01 01 1 * * /usr/sbin/acct/monacct
59 03 * * * /usr/sbin/acct/runacct 2>/var/adm/acct/nite/runacct.log
I only seem to keep a couple of days worth of these files - i'd like to keep 2 months if size allows...
# ls -lrt /var/adm/pa*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 adm adm 1220648 Sep 1 06:00 /var/adm/pacct1
-rw-rw-r-- 1 adm adm 2560000 Sep 1 10:15 /var/adm/pacct2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 adm adm 1991748 Sep 1 15:10 /var/adm/pacct
Thanks
