I have been having some problem understanding the following output to
the "acctcom -ursn ~/pacct" command:

=======================================================================

=======================================================================

I logged into the system at about 5:45 AM. And logged out at 6:09 AM.
When I exit the session, however, the start time for ksh is shown to
have been from 23:16 PM of the previous evening.  I cannot understand that.
Is this normal?  Will the  charge-back be based on the CPU utilization
from this hour on?

Can anyone out there explain?


Thanks
