Patch 548 — Missing group name in pacct and extpacct and process accounting
pacct_to_psm and monips_to_psm used to have a check on the range of
the group id number. This check has been removed, to allow group ids
greater than 16 bits numbers.
Patch 547 — Missing group name in pacct and extpacct
pacct_to_psm and monips_to_psm used to have a check on the range of
the group id number. This check has been removed, to allow group ids
greater than 16 bits numbers.
Patch 422 — Support for 64bit format of pacct on Linux
Adds support for 64bit format of pacct records on Linux,
stored in the acct_v3 struct.
Patch 407 — Handling of colons in command names in (ext)pacct
Allows colons to be a part of command names in pacct and extended
pacct. For extended pacct, there is now added a check that skips ps
output that contains timestamp equal to zero (1970-01-01 00:00:00).
