Collect for sar1 / sa2

[Andre Augusto Ferreira]

Hello everybody,

In my crontab there are the entries for the sar command:

0 * * * * /usr/lbin/sa/sa1
59 23 * * * /usr/lbin/sa/sa2 -s 0:01 -e 23:59 -i 300 -A

The problem is the sa2 not run becase permission problems. I set the permissions for 555, but the files in the /var/adm/sa not be format (sardd).

How I do for format the files collect previously?

Regards and Thanks for all.

Andr??

P.S. Sorry for the english

Hi Andre,

This is what the sar cron job looks like on my system,

0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
57 23 * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -s 0:00 -e 23:55 -i 300 -A

/usr/lib/sa/sa1

#! /usr/bin/sh
# @(#) $Revision: 72.3 $
# sa1.sh

DATE=`date +%d`
ENDIR=/usr/lbin/sa
DFILE=/var/adm/sa/sa$DATE
cd $ENDIR
if [ $# = 0 ]
then
exec $ENDIR/sadc 1 1 $DFILE
else
exec $ENDIR/sadc $* $DFILE

/usr/lib/sa/sa2

#! /usr/bin/sh
# @(#) $Revision: 72.1 $
# sa2.sh

DATE=`date +%d`
RPT=/var/adm/sa/sar$DATE
DFILE=/var/adm/sa/sa$DATE
ENDIR=/usr/sbin
cd $ENDIR
$ENDIR/sar $* -f $DFILE > $RPT
find /var/adm/sa \( -name 'sar*' -o -name 'sa*' \) -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

Do the daily sa files exist under /var/adm/sa

Hope this helps.

I do a copy of file sa2 to my home directory and change the DATE variable to "30". I run the program and the file sar30 was format like I want (/usr/lbin/sa/sa2 -s 0:01 -e 23:59 -i 300 -A).

Thanks for Sanjay and Uday for yours help.

Hugs for all.
