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


SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/sa/sa2


DESCRIPTION
       The sa2 command is a shell procedure variant of the sar command which
       writes a daily report in the sarDD or the sarYYYYMMDD file, where YYYY
       stands for the current year, MM for the current month and DD for the
       current day. By default the report is saved in the /var/log/sa
       directory. The sa2 command will also remove reports more than one week
       old by default.	You can however keep reports for a longer (or a
       shorter) period by setting the HISTORY environment variable. Read the
       sysstat(5) manual page for details.

       The sa2 command accepts most of the flags and parameters of the sar
       command.

       The sa2 command is designed to be started automatically by the cron
       command.


EXAMPLES
       To run the sa2 command daily, place the following entry in your root
       crontab file:

       5 19 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A

       This will generate by default a daily report called sarDD in the
       /var/log/sa directory, where the DD parameter is a number representing
       the day of the month.


FILES
       /var/log/sa/sarDD
       /var/log/sa/sarYYYYMMDD
	      The standard system activity daily report files and their
	      default location.	 YYYY stands for the current year, MM for the
	      current month and DD for the current day.
