Accounting and Auditing User Activity? (again)

» close window

The Question is:

 
Dear Mr. Wizard,
 
My question refers to tracking user activity and user logins.  I found the
same question in the previously asked questions but never really answered
the question.  Where are these utilities and system services?  Where can I
find them?  I'm working on vers
ion 5.0 and cannot find them in any of my manuals or on this site.  Would
you point me in the direction of where they might be or email me the
commands needed?  We need this A.S.A.P. becasue we're tracking the time of a
consultant.  Thank you for your tim
e.
 
Sincerely,
 
Michael Giannott

The Answer is :

 
  "ASAP"?  Per the Ask The Wizard rules, please do not ask questions
  that are time-critical or business-critical -- please contact the
  Compaq Customer Support Center directly with these questions.
 
  V5.0 is roughly decade old -- V7.2 is the current OpenVMS release.
  The oldest release eligible for Prior Version Support is presently
  V5.5-2.  Please upgrade.  If you cannot upgrade, please acquire
  documentation -- though this will be non-trivial, given the age
  of the release in use.
 
  Accounting and auditing are the tools most commonly used to track
  access to the system.  Commands include ACCOUNTING and ANALYZE/AUDIT,
  with auditing just becoming available in V5.0.
