Sar reuses these files each month. There's no easy way of changing these file names from within SAR, except maybe by recompiling binaries.
Why do you need the sar data files to be renamed using the full date? It would most probably be far easier to create a cron job which copies the files at the end of each month, before SAR starts to reuse the files in /var/adm/sa/

Hi guys,
I got this problem with NMON unable to display all the statistics specified via putty.
I believe this is due to libncurses rather than NMON and also the env variable $TERM.

sa1(8) BSD System Manager's Manual sa1(8)
NAME
sa1 -- Generate a system activity daily data file.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sa/sa1 [t n]
DESCRIPTION
The sa1 command is a shell script used to invoke the system activity data collector, sadc. The binary sample data is collected at intervals
t seconds apart, in a loop n times. The binary sample data is written to the standard daily data file, /var/log/sa/sadd where the dd repre-
sents the current day of the month.
sa1 is intended to be started by cron.
EXAMPLE CRON ENTRY
# Starting at 8am collect system activity records
# every 20 minutes for 12 hours
# 20 minutes = 1200 seconds
# 12 hours with 3 samples each hour = 36 loops
0 8 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1200 36
# After the 12 hour period,
# collect a system activity report
30 20 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A
FILES
/var/log/sa/sadd Default daily activity file that holds the binary sampling data. dd are digits that represent the day of the month.
