I do remember!
There was a change to the daily script to make the default behaviour
gather archives not just from yesterday but from previous days (which is
why 151 now fails if you remove the -o check). -o reverted to the old
behaviour of only doing yesterday's archives.
But the "new behaviour and -o" changes are not in the current open
source pmlogger_daily.sh ... so at some point, they have been lost ...
probably needs some ptools investigation by someone inside sgi me
thinks, as a first step.
ps. this is moderately useful in cases where pmlogger_daily.sh may not
be run on a particular day, e.g. due to system maintenance, or cron
amnesia, or whatever ...
