Description

This patch adds an additional configuration parameter 

  PACCT_OFFSET

to 

  /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg

which can be used to tune the timing of pacct data collection.
This parameter takes an offset value (in seconds) that will be
added to the default collection times specified by PACCT_RESTART.

E.g

  PACCT_RESTART	  86400
  PACCT_OFFSET     7200

will make pacct be collected once every 24 hours. The collection
is shifted 2 hours + a random offset (1-3600 seconds) after midnight.
The random offset is not configurable and is intended to help prevent
all clients from trying to transfer data at the same time.
