6.2.1 PROCESS TERMINATION Record

PROCESS accounting writes a PROCESS TERMINATION record
whenever a process terminates.  For example, a process is
created for a user when the user logs on to the system.  The
user may then execute editors, compilers, linkers, system
utilities, and previously developed application programs.  In
doing so, only one process has been created.  With PROCESS
accounting, when the user logs off, a single PROCESS
TERMINATION record will be created.

The PROCESS TERMINATION record contains data describing a
process that has been executing.  Its record type is 1.

The PROCESS TERMINATION record consists of two packets:

 o  Identification Packet - Contains identification data such
    as process identification, member and group IDs, user
    name, account, nodename, terminal, jobname, node address,
    remote ID, and other related data.

 o  Resource Packet - Contains system usage data such as
    status, image count, CPU time, page faults, fault I/Os,
    working set peak, page file, direct I/O, buffered I/O,
    and volumes mounted.

Data from this record is written to the DEAPRC file.
