I don't know whether Apollo Domain/OS (ie SR10+) has disk quota or
disk usage accounting, but you can switch on process accounting via
"/etc/accton".  This command is documented in the "Managing your
BSD software" manual for sys-admins.  The man page is in Section 8
and listed under (surprising) /etc/sa.

You *don't* need to install the BSD environment to
have the accounting facility.
