# sar -q
sar: Can't open /var/adm/sa/sa26
why and what need to be installed?

[Patrick Wallek]

If you want output to the terminal from sar you must specify a time increment and number of iterations on the command line.

Something like:

# sar -q 5 10

Where 5 is the number of seconds between each sample and 10 is the number of times it will run.

Hi,

If you do not specify any argument, sar will look at a saved file under /var/adm/sa/sa{date}.
If you enabled sar through cron using "sa1|sa2|sadc", then it will dump sar stats into that directory.

To get runtime measurements, you would need to use

sar -q interval iterations

sar -q 2 20

will print 20 values sampled every 2 seconds.
