# nnusage(1m)

display nn usage statistics

## NAME

nnusage - display *nn* usage statistics

## SYNOPSIS

**nnusage** \[ -**at** \]

## DESCRIPTION

**nnusage** will extract the usage entries from the log file and calculate the total usage time for the current user, or for all *nn* users if -**a** is specified.

When -**t** is used with the -**a** option, *nnusage* will list the users ordered after the total usage time.  Otherwise, the output will be sorted according to user names.

Since it is possible to suspend *nn*, or leave the terminal while *nn* is active, *nn* tries to be intelligent when it calculates the usage time so it will truly report the actual time spent on news reading.

## FILES

../Log	The log file

## SEE ALSO

[nn(1)](/nn/1.md), [nncheck(1)](/nncheck/1.md), [nngoback(1)](/nngoback/1.md), [nngrep(1)](/nngrep/1.md), [nntidy(1)](/nntidy/1.md)\
 [nnacct(1m)](/nnacct/1m.md), nnadmin(1M), nnquery(1M), [nnmaster(8)](/nnmaster/8.md)

## NOTES

If *nn* is compiled with ACCOUNTING turned on, then calls to *nnusage* are converted into equivalent calls to *nnacct*.

The *nn* package must have been compiled with the STATISTICS option turned on to produce the usage entries in the log file.

Only *nn* sessions longer than 5 minutes are registered in the log file.
