I have been tasked to gather 'sar' data every ten seconds. (Yes, I have enough
disk space!) Do I make the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/sys file say the following
(with the only important change being the "10" at the end of the third line)?
--- start crontab ---
0 * * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
20,40 8-17 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
5 18 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -s 8:00 -e 18:01 -i 10 -A
---- end crontab ----
Or do I execute 'sar' on the command line daily with an interval of ten
seconds, and an 'n' value of 8640?
Thanks for clarifying what's probably a pretty straightforward question: I
keep reading the Answer Book page, and I'm not getting any more clarity.
