NAME

6       sa1  -  Collect and store binary data in the system activity daily data
7       file.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       /usr/lib64/sa/sa1 [ --boot | interval count ]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The sa1 command is a shell procedure variant of the  sadc  command  and
14       handles  all  of the flags and parameters of that command. The sa1 com‐
15       mand collects and stores binary  data  in  the  /var/log/sa/sadd  file,
16       where  the  dd  parameter  indicates  the current day. The interval and
17       count parameters specify that the record should be written count  times
18       at  interval  seconds.  If  no arguments are given to sa1 then a single
19       record is written.
20
21       The sa1 command is designed to be started  automatically  by  the  cron
22       command.

OPTIONS

26       --boot This  option  tells  sa1  that the sadc command should be called
27              without specifying the interval and count parameters in order to
28              insert  a  dummy  record,  marking  the  time  when the counters
29              restarts from 0.

42              representing the day of the month.
