       parameter indicates the current day. The sa2 command handles all of the flags and parameters of the sar command.

EXAMPLES

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

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

       This will generate a daily report called /var/log/sa/sardd It will also remove reports more than one week old.
