Full Discussion: topas -P output to file
Operating Systems AIX topas -P output to file Post 302343936 by bakunin on Friday 14th of August 2009 07:08:54 AM

If you are only interested in some cpu% values you could configure and use "sar" (man sar). It was designed for exactly this purpose.

If you want to keep the topas-output and only want to get rid of the odd characters (they are steering characters responsible for the nicely formatted output of topas in the terminal) use a simple sed script to only collect into your results file what you are interested in. Post a sample and what you want to keep (in the "Shell Programming and Scripting" section, please) and I'm sure you have a solution within hours.

I hope this helps.

NAME
sadc -- system activity data collector SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sa/sadc [-m mode] [t n] [ofile] DESCRIPTION
The sadc tool is used to collect cumulative system activity data. The sample system data is collected at intervals t seconds apart, in a loop n times. The binary sample data is written to ofile if specified. Otherwise, the binary data is written to stdout. If the ofile file does not exist, it is created, otherwise it is truncated. sadc is intended to be used as the engine behind the sar(1) command, and is not typically invoked on the command line. Two shell scripts, sa1 and sa2, are provided to drive the typical sampling, saving, and reporting process. OPTIONS
The following options modify the way data is collected by sadc. -m mode Modify the collection of system statistics as specified by mode. Currently only one mode is supported. PPP By default, the collection of ppp network interface statistics is turned off. This is because the number of ppp connec- tions can be very high, causing the raw data file to grow unexpectedly large, especially when samples are collected at short intervals. Use the PPP mode to turn the collection back on. EXAMPLES
/usr/lib/sa/sadc 15 20 /tmp/sample.out This call collects 20 samples at 15 second intervals. The binary data is written to the /tmp/sample.out file FILES
/var/log/sa/sadd Default daily activity file that holds the binary sampling data. dd are digits that represent the day of the month. /usr/lib/sa/sa1 Shell script used to drive the sar data collection. /usr/lib/sa/sa2 Shell script used to drive the sar data reporting. SEE ALSO
fs_usage(1), netstat(1), sar(1), sc_usage(1), top(1), vm_stat(1), iostat(8), sa1(8), sa2(8) Mac OS X Jul 25 2003 Mac OS X
