The daily command summary report shows the system resource use by command. With this report, you can identify the most heavily used commands and, based on how those commands use system resources, gain insight on how best to tune the system. The format of the daily and monthly reports are virtually the same; however, the daily summary reports only on the current accounting period while the monthly summary reports on the start of the fiscal period to the current date. In other words, the monthly report reflects the data accumulated since the last invocation of monacct.
These reports are sorted by TOTAL KCOREMIN, which is an arbitrary gauge but often a good one for calculating drain on a system.
