There are built in scripts for sar continus monitoring and rotation.

Check out output of crontab -l sys
It should look like (commented) :
Code:
# 20,40 8-17 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
# 5 18 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -s 8:00 -e 18:01 -i 1200 -A

Be sure to prepare filesystem /var/adm/sa with sufficient space for 7 days (default rotation of sar files)

Check out the documentation for your desired intervals (minute, 5 minutes or alike)

Hope that helps
Regards
Peasant.

SA2(8)								Linux User's Manual							    SA2(8)

NAME
sa2 - Write a daily report in the /var/log/sysstat directory. SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sysstat/sa2 DESCRIPTION
The sa2 command is a shell procedure variant of the sar command which writes a daily report in the /var/log/sysstat/sardd file, where the dd parameter indicates the current day. The sa2 command handles all of the flags and parameters of the sar command. The sa2 command is designed to be started automatically by the cron command. EXAMPLES
To run the sa2 command daily, place the following entry in your root or adm crontab file: 5 19 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sysstat/sa2 -A & This will generate a daily report called /var/log/sysstat/sardd It will also remove reports more than one week old. Debian note The Debian sysstat package has already placed such an entry in your system crontab. Please refer to the /usr/share/doc/sys- stat/README.Debian file for details. FILES
/var/log/sysstat/sardd Indicate the daily report file, where the dd parameter is a number representing the day of the month. AUTHOR
