Hi,
sar has sometimes a additional line of output.
What could that be ?

#sar

Shalom,

If you run sar with some parameters, you might get a summary and average at the end of the run.

But I can give it to you.

Your system is on average 95-97% idle. Its really not doing anything important.

Hi,

It seems this is to do with the display. Check you display setting, echo $TERM and if required set it to vt100.

export TERM=vt100
echo $TERM

See if this sorts it out.

Let us know.

Cheers,
AL
