UNISOL JobAcct
UNISOL JobAcct is a job accounting and chargeback software package for UNIX
systems.
JobAcct performs "actual cost" accounting and chargeback for
each user, group, project and cost center, or, "proportional" chargeback
on a project/department level. Accounting can be restricted to specific
commands or can include all commands, with individual charges broken down
into:
-- connect time -- cpu usage
-- disk usage -- disk I/O operations
-- memory usage -- pages printed
-- miscellaneous charges
Reports are produced with charges itemized for each user, group, project chargeback
number, and cost center, and can include addresses for direct mailing to
users and their organizations. Reports can be easily added or modified with
awk or other report writing programs. ASCII reports (flat files) can also
be generated and easily reformatted for use with databases or other
financial programs.
Features of UNISOL JobAcct include:
- Allocation of charges to many project chargeback numbers by using
user-level commands to change project chargeback numbers
within a terminal session. System-wide or personal aliases can be
used to refer to chargeback numbers.
- Charging different rates for prime-time, non-prime-time,
and reduced-charge hours, for each chargeback number.
- Variable accounting periods (in one-day intervals) for each project,
user, or group.
- Flexible distribution of disk charges among many chargeback numbers.
- Users may individually (pre)view their accounting charges (up to the
last available accounting summary) for each billing period.
- Reports may be easily combined/produced for all/many systems on the
network from a single host.
- Generation of reports indicating logins of users and teletypes, and
commands executed by each user (both detailed and summary reports).
- Summary reporting for a top-down view of the overall system or
chargeback level accounting charges, including percentage information
(of both resource usage and revenue sources) for each chargeable field, and
generate pie-charts of system usage at the chargeback number level.
- Direct account billing and project-level budget tracking and reporting.
- User-friendly menus/forms management interface simplifies the
configuration of JobAcct control tables and the generation of standard and/or
ad-hoc reports.
- An X-Windows (Motif or OPEN LOOK) application management interface is
also available for most systems.
- An optional performance monitoring
module collects system activity and reports system performance for specific
resources in both tabular and graphical form.
UNISOL JobAcct replaces the
standard system accounting summary commands, and uses system dependent
control files in order to analyze and summarize system accounting data
according to user specifications.
