Archive processing and reporting

["Junkin, Bobby" <Bobby.Junkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm currently using PCP 2.1 in an IRIX 6.5.9 environment.
According to the pmlogger_daily man page, toward the bottom, it indicates "The script /usr/pcp/bin/pmlogger_daily could be copied and modified to implement a site-specific procedure for end-of-week and/or end-of-month management for a set of PCP archives."

My question is, what specifically "could be modified" in this script to accomplish an end-of-week and month processing? I currently have pmlogger_daily running (as specified for daily processing) and using pmsnap to generate snapshots every 30-minutes. This all works great! However, what I also would like to implement Daily charts (at say 2 hour intervals for the past 7 days) and Monthly charts (depicting daily averages for the past 31 days).

I'm no scripting guru or ace programmer. I've tried setting up the crontab for pmlogger_daily to only run on Sunday which works fine for one week (provided the system isn't rebooted or pcp restarted). But I figured someone in this list might have a better way or be able to provide some more information. Any help is greatly appreciated.
