>This document describes how to enable system process accounting on
a Linux host and the usage of various process accounting commands. It is
intended for users running kernel versions greater than or equal to 1.3.73
(tested on RedHat&#8482; 4.1 kernel 2.0.27). Kernels older than 1.3.73 may
need a patch in order to use the process accounting feature. </P
