Dear Sir,

I'm having problem collecting data from the kernel
to the CSA programs based on the web page at
"http://oss.sgi.com/projects/csa/csa_kernel":

   "When a new job is created, the PAGG job code passes information to the
   CSA code which includes the job id, user id and job start time.
   This information is used to write a start-of-job accounting record.
   When the last process within a job exits, the PAGG job code sends
   information so that an end-of-job accounting record can be written.
   This information includes the job id, user id, group id, nice value, and
   job start and end times."

When I run "csarun" daily, I only get one line written to /var/csa/day/pacct file.
The contain of that line is the kernel version as the follow:

strings /var/csa/day/pacct
