Operating Systems AIX crontab in AIX Post 302097667 by kpearson on Monday 27th of November 2006 09:21:36 PM

Oh, in that case, I'd write a script that looks something like:

#!/usr/bin/ksh (I use ksh on AIX unless bash is available)
checkdate () {
CHKDT=`date`
CHKDT=`echo $CHKDT|perl -pe 's/ / /eg'` ;# remove extra spaces
CHKDATE=`echo $CHKDT|cut -f3 -d' '`
CHKTM=`echo $CHKDT|cut -f4 -d' '`
CHKHR=`echo $CHKTM|cut -f1 -d':'`
CHKMIN=`echo $CHKTM|cut -f2 -d':'`
}

FL=/path/to/capture/file
sar -desired_options >> $FL

checkdate
if [ "$CHKHR" = 9 ] &&
[ "$CHKMIN" = 59 ] ; then
cp $FL $FL"_"$CHKDATE
cat /dev/null > $FL
fi

exit 1


Okay, it's rough, but perhaps it will give you some ideas...
