Unix SAR?

An Anonymous Coward asks: "This may appear to be a simple question at a first glance but I have been trying to find a solution for it for quite a while. I have been playing with different System Accounting utilities (i.e. SAR etc) and they all provide a wide range of useful information but I did not find any one that would be able to tell me the full path and the name of every process that a user runs in a Solaris machine. A loop with ps does not help because you may miss the processes that ran between each call to ps. Any one know how to extract this info? Is there a good System Accounting solution that does the trick? What is the best System Accounting solution available today?"

    Software sucks. Open Source sucks less.
