sar tool

Hi All,

I have come through this very nice tool which stores the week performance stats in solaris, but its only stores the stats for 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening. i want to extend the facility to work 24 hrs . Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks in advance

Edit the sys crontab ("crontab -e sys") and set the sa1 script to run 7x24.
Example:
0,15,30,45 * * * * /usr/lib/sa/sa1
