sar looks like what I need. Thanks Adam. The man page seems to indicate that I need to run sar, or one of its relatives, in the background to produce a stats file that I can then analyse. sar is on my machines but there's nothing in /var/log/sa/ I haven't found any indications yet on the best way to set up the collection process. Is there a YaST feature to do this, for example? Or a HOW-TO? Thanks again, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
