generate a report with sar output

[Katie Sands]

I would like to see if I can generate a report with SAR info. Can someone point me to a doc. with this type of information.

Thanks!

Start with the man page for sar. There are several good examples of use listed toward the end of the page.

I guess I left out some specifics in my first posting. Sorry! What I meant to say: I would like to generate a report at the end of the business day (19:00) that would gather statistics and could be printed or emailed.

How about a sript?

Collects data in the background. Production quality?

Attaching.

Post back if you need help tweaking.

Katie,

In that case, have a look at the man page for sa1. There are cron examples there for just what you want.

SEP,
I was thinking a script might be the direction I wanted to go. I am very new to scripting and the Sys. admin. world. I will definitely look at the script and I am sure I will need help tweaking it. Is there anyway you can send an interpretation? If not, I understand and will try deciphering it myself.

Thank you to everyone!
