I am generating a SAR output file every minute for 8 hours to stress test the box. Whenever i hit %idle less than 20.00, I need to grep for it and send an email or send a page. How would i write a shell script for this?
Thanks, ST2000

Hi All,
I am trying to run sar on a Redhat server during a test I am performing for a couple of hours. I would like to get the sar metrics for every second (instead of the regularly set up 10 minute interval in the cron). What is the most efficient way to do this?
Thanks,
