The description from the homepage (http://www.vanheusden.com/acctail/) is quite descriptive: Acctail shows all processes that have exited together with their cpu-time, memory usage, etc. etc. Would be a nice addition to the portage collection.
Created attachment 38161 [details] The ebuild. I'd suggest sys-apps/acctail

I suppose you should add some warning about BSD_PROCESS_ACCT and give a better description, I've read it multiple time but I don't understand what it exactly does... Does it give me an overview of all the ended processes which ended together on my system?
a) the warning. Yes, maybe. I'll submit update ebuild shortly. b) description. I took description from the author's homepage... I think, if you keep in mind that the program is called 'acctail' description is quite meaningful. Umm... I'll try to come up with the better one in the new ebuild. As for explanations for you, I think this is the best way to explain: 2. 8:55pm hacker@olympus:~# acctail acctail v1.3, (C) folkert@vanheusden.com COMMAND FLGS UID .GID EXIT UTIME STIME ETIME MEM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pstree hacker .hacker 0 0.00 10.00 20.00 3580 dmesg hacker .hacker 0 0.00 0.00 90.00 3536 ls hacker .hacker 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 3976 cp hacker .hacker 0 0.00 0.00 50.00 3560 rm hacker .hacker 256 0.00 0.00 40.00 3556 rm hacker .hacker 0 0.00 0.00 0.00 3552 postmaster F sql .sql 0 0.00 0.00 2030.00 18512 3. 8:55pm hacker@olympus:~#
Created attachment 40240 [details] updated ebuild I have modified description a bit, but I did not add warning: I have looked up the sys-apps/acct ebuild and thought that if it doesn't give any warnings regarding kernel, then it is not necessary here, either. As, I believe, I have said before -- almost all packages more or less depend on kernel configuration.
in cvs now.
