SYNOPSIS

10       /usr/lib/sa/sa1 [ interval count ]

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 store binary data in the /var/log/sa/sadd file, where
16       the  dd  parameter  indicates  the  current day. The interval and count
17       parameters specify that the record should be  written  count  times  at
18       interval  seconds.  If  you  do  not specify these parameters, a single
19       record is written.
20
21       The sa1 command is designed to be started  automatically  by  the  cron
22       command.
