Sure. My apology for being too short. I was getting the error mentioned in the post, that it gobbles up disk space like 2.3 GB and I didn't install the binary dump-acct to see the pacct file, which is a binary file. This file contains all the command run by the process, kinda command logging facility. With the help of dump-acct binary, you can clearly see the format, when the command run. All I had to do, get into the dir and fire that command against that file to see the output informative manner. This stuff can be used in security purpose too. Lastly, I can easily nullify it by #>pacct
