I am trying to find out how many peek active process a server run in a
given time period, like in one day, and may be a week. I try to see how
servers handle heavy peak at time.
I thought that systat vmstat, or others could provide me that.
Unless I don't read the right man page, looks like the peak active stats
process are not kept anywhere.
Is that the case, or is there a way to find more long term stats like that?
man systat talk about boot stats:
The following commands are specific to the vmstat and ifstat displays;
the minimum unambiguous prefix may be supplied.
boot Display cumulative statistics since the system was booted.
run Display statistics as a running total from the point this
command is given.
time Display statistics averaged over the refresh interval (the de-
fault).
zero Reset running statistics to zero.
But looks like I am not using it properly.
Any more informations available someplace that cold help?
Thanks
Daniel
