BOX Status with vmstat & top Solaris 2.8
Hi there,
Iīm trying to get the information of vmstat & top in two different logfiles.
That not that difficult.
vmstat 30 >> myfile.log
top >> myfile2.log
But I also like to include a timestamp every 30 sec to be sure from what date the logs are.
For the Top command I were able to create a script that works.
Quote:
#! /bin/ksh
while :
do
echo `date` >> top_2002_08_06.log
echo " " >> top_2002_08_06.log
top >> top_2002_08_06.log
sleep 30
done
But for the vmstat that donīt work, cause the command never comes back. I helped starting the command direktly from the shell like this:
Quote:
nohup vmstat 30 >> myfile.log &
and then add hte timestamp like the same
Quote:
while : [ENTER]
do [ENTER]
echo `date` >> myfile.log [ENTER]
sleep 30 [ENTER]
done & [ENTER]
Any better ideas?
TIA
frank

The date format is mmm nn, where mmm is the local three-character abbreviation for the month and nn is the day of the month on which
the event occurred.
time
The time of the event, in hh:mm:ss format.

A product code that identifies which component of the data services produced the event. The code is separated from the message that
follows by a colon (:) and a space.

fixed by the date, time, and product code strings.
