reading a sar file

[Mark Harshman_1]

help please. I am trying to read a sar file with data in it, to get some disk stats. I do a "sar -d -o sar19" and i get a coredump. the sar19 file exists already. this is on a HPUX11i, rp8400 server. thanks

Hi,

The -o option created a new logfile, since you allready have that file, sar coredumps. Try the -f option.

-f File Extracts records from File (created by -o File flag). The default value of the File parameter is the current daily data file, the /var/adm/sa/sadd file.

Regards,

actually, i was using the "-f" option...i just mistyped. I still get the coredump. I tried on another file and the same result.
