Description

pacct_to_psm is now allowed to complete processing of a pacct file that contains more faulty
records. Earlier, the process would be aborted after a certain number of such records. The error
checking can be turned on / off by setting a directive in /etc/opt/openit/openit.cfg:

PACCT_CHECK_ERROR (on|off)

If the directive is not present, the default behavior is as before, "on".

sar has been extended to handle version 9 of the sysstat package.
