sysstat: System performance tools for the Linux operating system...--(C) 1999-2006 Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> wanadoo.fr)The latest version of sysstat can always be found on my web site at:http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sebastien.godard/sysstat package is also available at ibiblio's Linux archivein the following directory:ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/status/See the CHANGES file to know the new features/improvements/bug fixes addedin this release of sysstat.INSTALLATION------------The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools forLinux. These include mpstat, iostat, sar, sadc, sadf and sa tools. The first stage is to configure sysstat for your system:	make configThis is useful to change some configuration variables, for instance if youwant to choose installation directories.Answer the questions or enter Return to accept the default values.For yes/no questions, please answer 'y' or 'n' (without the quotes): It iscase sensitive! You can also enter '?' to get a help message.Configuring your system is not compulsory. If not done, sysstat will usea default configuration file...The next stage is to build the various binary files. Enter:	makeThen log in as root and enter:	make install(see next section to know the files that are installed).That's all!Of course tell me if there are any problems. This is the only way I can improve'sysstat'. Please also remember to read the FAQ included in this package.With regard to sysstat, patches and suggestions for improvements are alwayswelcome! Send them to (sysstat <at> wanadoo.fr).FILES THAT ARE INSTALLED------------------------I _hate_ when packages install files everywhere on my disk and I don't knowwhere...So here is the list of files installed by sysstat, when you ask for acomplete installation.${PREFIX} is the value of the PREFIX variable defined in the Makefile(usually set to /usr/local or /usr).${PREFIX}/lib/sa/sadc${PREFIX}/lib/sa/sa1${PREFIX}/lib/sa/sa2${PREFIX}/bin/sar${PREFIX}/bin/sadf${PREFIX}/bin/iostat${PREFIX}/bin/mpstat${PREFIX}(/share)/man/man8/sadc.8${PREFIX}(/share)/man/man8/sa1.8${PREFIX}(/share)/man/man8/sa2.8${PREFIX}(/share)/man/man1/sar.1${PREFIX}(/share)/man/man1/sadf.1${PREFIX}(/share)/man/man1/iostat.1${PREFIX}(/share)/man/man1/mpstat.1${PREFIX}/share/locale/af/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/it/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/ja/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/nb/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/nn/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/pt/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/ro/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/share/locale/sk/LC_MESSAGES/sysstat.mo${PREFIX}/doc/sysstat-x.y.z/*/var/log/sa${INIT_DIR}/sysstat/etc/sysconfig/sysstat/etc/sysconfig/sysstat.ioconf/etc/cron.d/sysstat/etc/rc.d/rc.sysstat		for [SLACKWARE]${RC_DIR}/rc2.d/S03sysstat${RC_DIR}/rc3.d/S03sysstat${RC_DIR}/rc5.d/S03sysstatwith:${INIT_DIR}=/etc/rc.d/init.d/	for [REDHAT] [CALDERA] [MANDRIVA] [TURBOLINUX] [KONDARA]${INIT_DIR}=/sbin/init.d/	for [SUSE <= 7.0]${INIT_DIR}=/etc/init.d/	for [SUSE >= 7.1] [DEBIAN]${RC_DIR}=/etc/rc.d/		for [REDHAT] [CALDERA] [MANDRIVA] [TURBOLINUX] [KONDARA] [SLACKWARE]${RC_DIR}=/sbin/init.d/		for [SUSE <= 7.0]${RC_DIR}=/etc/init.d/		for [SUSE >= 7.1]${RC_DIR}=/etc/			for [DEBIAN]MISCELLANEOUS-------------The sar, mpstat and iostat commands are only front-ends to the kernel procfilesystem... They cannot display statistics that Linux does notprovide, nor can they be more accurate than Linux is.The sysstat package has been tested on Linux kernels 2.0.x, 2.2.x, 2.4.x and2.6.x, but since new statistics are added in sysstat, they are not necessarilypresent in old kernels.It has been designed with National Language Support (NLS) in mind, usingthe GNU gettext package (available at http://www.gnu.org).At the present time, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese,Afrikaans, Norwegian, Italian, Russian, Romanian, Polish, Slovak andJapanese translations are available. You are welcome if you want to makeother languages available ;-)Please read the README-nls file in the nls directory before.--Sebastien Godard (sysstat <at> wanadoo.fr)
