Put it whereever you want.

in this case it would be in /path/to/ with a filename of vmstat.01 (01 = date)

OK I thought so, sorry for being over cautious.

One more question...
I manually ran it to test and I got a file name of "vmstat.date +%d"

What in the code did I miss?

I have it like such...
vmstat 60 1440 >/home/user/vmstat/vmstat.'date +%d'

you need to use the backtick (same key as ~) - not single quote

From:
Code:
vmstat 60 1440 >/home/user/vmstat/vmstat.'date +%d'

To:
Code:
vmstat 60 1440 >/home/user/vmstat/vmstat.`date +%d`


edit: to include the code

Hi,

If you're interesting in drawing charts from vmstat log files,
you should try vmstax. You upload your log files, the charts
are built and then you export them as image(png).
