Hi,

SAR or system activity reporter will do your job in the simplest way.
set up the following in crontab

login as root
#crontab -e
0 * * * * /usr/lbin/sa/sa1
0,10,20,30,40,50 8-18 * * 1-5 / usr/lbin/sa/sa1
5 18 * * * /usr/lbin/sa2 -A

and the reporter will store the data in /var/adm/sa/sadd where dd is the date or day of the month.

hi,

man sar for details

#sar -f /var/adm/sa/sa01

to read the file use the -f option

here 01 refers to the date
suppose you want to get data of 3rd
sar -f /var/adm/sa/sa03

don't forget to create the sa directory under /var/adm, otherwise the data won't be collected.
