ac:tldr:7782e

ac: Print how long a particular user has been connected in hours per day (with total).
$ ac --daily-totals --individual-totals ${username}
try on your machine

This command is likely related to the "ac" command, which is used for generating accounting reports in UNIX-like operating systems.

The specific options in this command are:

  • --daily-totals: This option tells the command to display the daily totals for the specified user.
  • --individual-totals: This option instructs the command to show individual entries for each process/activity of the user.
  • ${username}: This is a placeholder that represents the name of the user for whom the accounting report is generated. You need to replace ${username} with the actual username.

By executing this command with the appropriate username, it will generate an accounting report that includes the daily totals and the individual process/activity details for the specified user.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
