Hi,

I need to collect the system data over a period of 24hrs on my solaris
server. I want to use sar & sadc features to get the information.

Can anybody please help me in this regard in how to setup the crontab
file to get the statistics.

I want the procedure for doing the same.

TIA

There are usually some default entries already in the sys users crontab.
You either simply uncomment those or base your cron entries on them.
You will also need to uncomment some lines in /etc/init.d/perf once you
look at the file it will become obvious which ones.

crontab -e
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * sar [options] >> /path/log_file
:wq

You can do similar things with vmstat, iostat, etc.

I did that using the crontab -e which is suppose to pop up an editor
is not giving me any editor which it earlier used to do.

It is jumping to the next line and waiting for the input. so what
should i do to get a editor to add these lines . crontab -e itself
gives a text based editor.

Is there any way out , or am I doing somethimg wrong here.

It's put you into ed, which is the default, unless you specify another
editor in the EDITOR environment variable.

This is clearly documented on the crontab manual page.

edit the crontab entries for the "sys" user.

As root, type the following:

VISUAL=vi crontab -e sys

This should open the sys user's crontab file for editing with vi.
