/*
** The atopacctd daemon switches on the process accounting feature
** in the kernel and let the process accounting records be written to
** a file, called the source file. After process accounting is active,
** the atopacctd daemon transfers every process accounting record that
** is available in the source file to a shadow file.
** Client processes (like atop) can read the shadow file instead of
** the original process accounting source file.
**
** This approach has the following advantages:
**
** - The atopacctd daemon keeps the source file to a limited size
**   by truncating it regularly.
**
** - The atopacct daemon takes care that a shadow file has a limited size.
**   As soon as the current shadow file reaches its maximum size, the
**   atopacctd daemon creates a subsequent shadow file. For this reason,
**   the name of a shadow file contains a sequence number.
**   Shadow files that are not used by client processes any more, are
**   automatically removed by the atopacctd daemon.
**
** - When no client processes are active (any more), all shadow files
**   will be deleted and no records will be transferred to shadow files
**   any more. As soon as at least one client is activated again, the
**   atopacctd daemon start writing shadow files again.
**
** The directory /var/run is used as the default top-directory. An
** alternative top-directory can be specified as command line argument
** (in that case, also modify /etc/atoprc to inform atop as a client).
** Below this top-directory the source file pacct_source is created and
** the subdirectory pacct_shadow.d as a 'container' for the shadow files.
