NAME

6       sa2  -  Create a report from the current standard system activity daily
7       data file.

SYNOPSIS

10       /usr/lib64/sa/sa2
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The sa2 command is a shell procedure variant of the sar  command  which
14       writes  a daily report in the sarDD or the sarYYYYMMDD file, where YYYY
15       stands for the current year, MM for the current month and  DD  for  the
16       current  day.  By default the report is saved in the /var/log/sa direc‐
17       tory.  The sa2 command will also remove reports more than one week  old
18       by  default.   You can however keep reports for a longer (or a shorter)
19       period by setting the HISTORY environment variable. Read the sysstat(5)
20       manual page for details.
21
22       The  sa2  command  accepts  most of the flags and parameters of the sar
23       command.
24
25       The sa2 command is designed to be started  automatically  by  the  cron
26       command.

EXAMPLES

30       To  run  the  sa2 command daily, place the following entry in your root
31       crontab file:
32
33       5 19 * * 1-5 /usr/lib64/sa/sa2 -A &
34
35       This will generate by default  a  daily  report  called  sarDD  in  the
36       /var/log/sa  directory, where the DD parameter is a number representing
37       the day of the month.
