sa1 and sa2

Hi all, does anyone know what is the relationship between sa1 and sa2? Apparently both have to be included to make reporting work. If you include only 1, let's say sa2, the file is created but there's no content inside. Can someone shed some light and also provide examples of sa1 and sa2? Thanks a whole bunch.

Hi I've found this crontab entry to run sa1 on sunOs box but I don't know where the result of this command is being stored. Is there a standard location for this? I assume the command is supposed to be storing the details somewhere.. Thanks

How do sa1/sar time intervals work?

SA1(8)								Linux User's Manual							    SA1(8)

NAME

       sa1 - Collect and store binary data in the system activity daily data file.

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib64/sa/sa1 [ --boot | interval count ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  sa1 command is a shell procedure variant of the sadc command and handles all of the flags and parameters of that command. The sa1 com-
       mand collects and stores binary data in the /var/log/sa/sadd file, where the dd parameter indicates the current day. The interval and count
       parameters specify that the record should be written count times at interval seconds. If no arguments are given to sa1 then a single record
       is written.

       The sa1 command is designed to be started automatically by the cron command.

OPTIONS

       --boot This option tells sa1 that the sadc command should be called without specifying the interval and count parameters in order to insert
	      a dummy record, marking the time when the counters restarts from 0.

EXAMPLE

       To collect data (including those from disks) every 10 minutes, place the following entry in your root crontab file:

       0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * /usr/lib64/sa/sa1 1 1 -S DISK

FILES

       /var/log/sa/sadd
	      Indicate the daily data file, where the dd parameter is a number representing the day of the month.
