I have a cron job to run nmon and take 288 snaps, every 5min at
midnight [0 0 * * * /usr/bin/nmon_aix52 -fT -s 300 -c 288 -m
/home/nmon_data/] and I want a graph per day as well as over the week.
Is there a simple way to concatenate several nmon files to graph an
entire week with the daily nmon files I already have? I have tried just
a simple cat file1.nmon file2.nmon ... >all.nmon, then sorted it, but
that does not put the file in the correct format for the nmon_analyzer
to create graphs. The cat'd file doesnt have the data sorted, it is
just appended, like you would expect the concatenate command to do.

There is a tool called nmonmerge for this:
