In this way, concatenated rawlog data from the command atopcat can be directly processed. + +### New program atopcat: +The program atopcat concatenates rawlog files and writes this data to stdout. +The output can be redirected to a new rawlog file or to atop/atopsar directly via a pipe (see option '-r -' of these commands). +In this way e.g. weekly or monthly reports or extractions can be created. + +### General: + +The format of the raw file is compatible with version 2.5. \ No newline at end of file
