Hi Ankit, there is no default SA1_OPTIONS entry for ages that could cause the original issue. So the bug is solved a long time ago. Also I have sysstat on plenty of servers and none mails me about that. I checked once more if the mails might be queued but they just don't get created.
Thanks for the ping as this is really solved a long time ago. I'd assume your issue with unresponsive key/mice and such is a different issue. At least it is a different bug than the one reported here back in 2009. You could open a new bug to discuss your (probably different) issue. When doing so please directly attach the /etc/default/sysstat And since you say it hangs I'd asusme that the regular runs cause some sort of cpu-hog. It would be great if you could let run something like this for 25 minutes and attach. We would see the sadc spiking there. $ pidstat 5 In terms of general system check since we can't rely on systat you could use and attach a report of the same time with "dstat -tvin" Open a new bug with all that and feel free to subscribe me right away. With that data we can start to make theories, but it is not this old issue here. ** Changed in: sysstat (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477333 Title: cron job is overly noisy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysstat/+bug/477333/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
