Command Format of PAUDIT

Use /C after the command to allow continuous scrolling. If /C is not used, PAUDIT pauses after every screen of information.

Additional Information

PAUDIT allows you to view the system accounting records. It also records each time an intruder is detected trying to log in to the file server.

The audit file, NET$ACCT.DAT, contains a chronological record of all accounting records. When accounting is installed, an entry is placed in the file server's audit file each time a user logs in to or out of the file server.
The file server can also track and charge users for several services including blocks read, blocks written, connect time, service requests, and disk storage.

System Accounting Records:

To view the system's accounting records, complete the following steps:

1. ProcedureChange to the SYS:SYSTEM directory or map a search drive to the directory.
2. Type PAUDIT <Enter>

You see a listing of all accounting records.

Redirect PAUDIT Data to a File and Print a Copy

PAUDIT generates a large amount of data. You can redirect the output of PAUDIT to a file to make it more accessible. This file can then be viewed or printed.

Redirect PAUDIT Data

• To redirect PAUDIT data to a file, use the DOS piping feature. Type PAUDIT > filename <Enter>

Print the PAUDIT Data File

• To print a copy of the file, type NPRINT filename <Enter>

You may want to erase or move the NET$ACCT.DAT file after you have redirected the information to a file. The system will generate a new NET$ACCT.DAT file for future accounting records.

However, the information is stored in a more compressed form (binary data) in the NET$ACCT.DAT file. If you have a billing program that reads the information directly from the NET$ACCT.DAT file, you may want to leave the information in that form rather than periodically erasing the file and starting over.
