SA2(8)			      Linux User's Manual			SA2(8)

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

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/sysstat/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/sysstat
       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/sysstat/sa2 -A &

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

   Debian note
       The Debian sysstat package has already placed such  an  entry  in  your
       system	 crontab.     Please	refer	to   the   /usr/share/doc/sys‐
       stat/README.Debian file for details.

FILES
       /var/log/sysstat/sarDD
       /var/log/sysstat/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.
