I want to keep track of my CPU usage patterns during normal work for a couple
of weeks.  I was going to turn system accounting on, so I went to the man
pages to find out how it works. accton is there (and seems to work -- if
I give it a file, it logs data to it for each command I execute).  However,
no other accounting commands seem to be present (in particular acct(5)
mentions "sa", which does not seem to exist).  I'm sure I installed the
whole binary distribution.  Is there some reason this command is not
present (bugs?).  If not, can I pick up source or a binary somewhere?

Cheers,

Mark.
