Question sar
We have a script that uses

sar -u 1 10 | awk '/Average/ { print ( $2 + $3 ) }'

to get the CPU usage of a mutli engine machine. We think we are getting wrong information from the above string. We think it is adding up the total of the 12 engines and reporting back the total not the overall average. Can anyone add their two cents as to what might be wrong?
