Good day all,

I noticed a '/usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1' entry on my cron log file. I looked a the
man pages for sa1 and it went-over-my-head. "Collect and store binary data
in the system activity daily data file" it says. I know it's running every
10 minutes.

I looked at my crontab 'default ones' under /etc/ and I did not find any
traces of it.
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/

# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

I would think that the one running it would be /etc/cron.hourly, but
/etc/cront.hourly is empty.

[root@hostname root] ls -laF /etc/cron.hourly/
total 5
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 Jul 19  2001 ./
drwxr-xr-x   51 root     root         4096 Oct 25 09:06 ../


Would someone, kindly, give me a lame explanation of this situation?

Thank you for your time.


Raf.
