Thanks for your quick response, basically my requirement is to collect the NMON data for one day or 2 day,

so i have run the command ./nmon so that i can terminate in between if I want.

please let me know the version which i am using is correct or any other version i have to use

also let me know i have terminated the ./nmon process after 15 mins this time interval is sufficient?

Wheather i have to copy the file before terminating?
