System startup and sadc

In HP-UX 11.0, the man page for sadc (sar) states a call to sadc should be done during system reboot to mark the restart in the daily file and indicate the counters were reset to zero. Is this necessary or can you just let cron takeover the sar data collection on the next call?

Re: System startup and sadc

Hi Chris,

Executing sadc during startup writes the special record to the daily data file to mark system restart.

One normally runs sa1 and sa2 in cron which basically calls sadc anyway but with n and t options.

We always execute sadc /var/adm/sa/sa'date +%d' in our startup scripts.
