Hi,
I have set up sar on my RedHat and Fedora Linux systems. I am running sa1 from cron:
Code:
0 8-17 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1200 3 &
The 1200 and 3 parameters tell sa1 to save data every 1200 seconds (== 20 minutes) and to write 3 times.
When I run sar to observe my data, I'll see something like this:
Code:
# sar -A -f /var/log/sa/sa22 | more
Linux 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 (opchux0011.comp.optiver.com) 10/22/2008

...What gives? Why is it reporting data every 10 minutes? How come I only see 1 entry every 10 minutes, and not 3? I'm confused...
Thanks.
