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

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/libexec/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 de‐
       fault 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 environ‐
       ment 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/libexec/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 representing 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/sysstat/README.Debian file for details.
