I tried to do this by creating files /usr/lib/sa/sa1 and /usr/lib/sa/sa2.
Now I get: "/bin/sh: /usr/lib/sa/sa1: Permission denied"
$ ll /usr/lib/sa/sa1
-rwxrw-rw- 1 root root 0 Aug 27 10:57 /usr/lib/sa/sa1
Wy is this permission denied?
After further thinking:
It started to show-up when I added in /etc/aliases the last line
person who should get root's mail
root: pfheiss
pfheiss: Peter
I deleted now "pfheiss: Peter" and the spook is gone.
The file causing the messages is in /etc/cron.d sysstat
run system activity accounting tool every 10 minutes
*/10 * * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1 1
generate a daily summary of process accounting at 16:53
53 16 * * * root /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A
If I mark (#) the lines in question would that have any adverse effect?
