fixed in errata going out today. The latest errata has a minor problem: it produces daily sar file at 4am, summarizing only the previous 4 hours. You may want to change the script /usr/lib/sa/sa2 to summarize the previous day's data, e.g. by replacing the 'DATE=...' line with DATE=`date --date=yesterday +%d` This change will summarize yesterday's complete data (24hrs). good point. Fixed in rawhide. |
The script /usr/lib/sa/sa1 gets started hourly only on Saturday and Sunday (see /etc/crontab, also related to crontabs-1.8-1 package). Meanwhile, the script /usr/lib/sa/sa2 runs daily expecting to find daily files. Since weekday files are missing, spurious e-mail is sent to root. Suggestions: (1) /etc/crontab should start sa1 hourly every day, not just on weekends. (2) /usr/lib/sa/sa2 should verify that the required log file exist: if [ -f ${DFILE} ]; then ${ENDIR}/sar $* -f ${DFILE} > ${RPT} fi
