To stop and re-start system accounting, use the command file: [1,7]RESTACC This will cause system accounting to stop, and then re-start with a new statistics file. This is useful when you want to divide a day's statistics into more than one measurement period. The procedure will ask: "Do you want to summarize the data now?" The default answer is Yes, because this will save the data which has just been collected, reduce it to just the items which need to be saved, and purge out the oldest files. Summarizing should take only a few minutes. If you answer No, the data will still be available, but must be processed later manually before the files are purged. It is reccomended that you answer Yes.
