NAME

     sa2 -- Generate a system activity daily report file.

SYNOPSIS

     /usr/lib/sa/sa2 [-dgpu] [-n mode] [-e time] [-f filename] [-i seconds] [-s time]

DESCRIPTION

     The sa2 command is a shell script used to invoke the system activity reporter sar for purposes of generating the standard default daily
     report file.  The report file generated is, /var/log/sa/sardd where the dd represents the current day of the month.  The sa2 options are the
     same as those documented in sar(1).

     When sa2 runs, it will also remove data and report files, found in /var/log/sa, that are more than one week old.

     The sa2 command is intended to be started by cron.

     0 8 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1200 36

     # After the 12 hour period,
     # collect a system activity report
