12.5.5 The sa Command
The sa command summarizes process accounting information. This
command helps you to manage the large volume of accounting information.
The files produced by the sa command include all the available process
accounting information. The sa command has the following syntax:
/usr/sbin/sa
[ options...] [ filename]
The filename variable specifies a process accounting file with the acct.h
header file structure. If the
filename variable is not specified, the
/var/adm/pacct file is used.
