NAME

       sa2 - Write a daily report in the /var/log/sysstat directory.

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
       /var/log/sysstat/sardd file, where the dd parameter indicates the  current  day.   It  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 a daily report called /var/log/sysstat/sardd.

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

FILES

       /var/log/sysstat/sardd
              Indicate  the  daily  report  file, where the dd parameter is a number representing the day of the
              month.
