Hi,

I am trying to run sar through crontab since I want to collect data over a
period of 7 days.

I have the following in the root crontab (the ls -l for the root crontab
looks like -r--r--r-- 1 root other 500 Jan 31 10:19 root )
:

0 * * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa1 300 11
0 * * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -s 00:00 -e 23:55 -i 1200 -A
I expect it to run every hour but somehow it doesnt even get started.

Before that I had the following in the sys crontab(the ls -l for the sys
crontab looks like -r--r--r-- 1 root sys 287 Jan 31 09:28
sys ):

0 * * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
0 * * * 0-6 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -s 00:00 -e 23:55 -i 1200 -A

just like it mentioned in the man pages and that too didnt run.

What am I missing here?

TIA,
Nabeel
