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  current  standard  system
16       activity daily data file.
17
18       The  standard  system  activity  daily  data  file is named saDD unless
19       sadc's option -D is used, in which case its name is  saYYYYMMDD,  where
20       YYYY  stands  for the current year, MM for the current month and DD for
21       the current day. By default it is located in the /var/log/sa directory.
22
23       The interval and count parameters specify that  the  record  should  be
24       written  count  times at interval seconds. If no arguments are given to
25       sa1 then a single record is written.
26
27       The sa1 command is designed to be started  automatically  by  the  cron
28       command.

OPTIONS

32       --boot This  option  tells  sa1  that the sadc command should be called
33              without specifying the interval and count parameters in order to
34              insert  a  dummy  record,  marking  the  time  when the counters
35              restart from 0.

48              The  standard system activity daily data files and their default
49              location.  YYYY stands for the current year, MM for the  current
50              month and DD for the current day.
