DESCRIPTION
The sag command displays a graph of system activity. It gets information
either from the daily activity file usr/adm/sa/sadd or from the binary data
file selected by the -f flag. You must have already created this file by
running the sar command with the -o flag. (See "sar.")
The sag command calls the sar command, selecting the desired data by
string-matching the data column header.
FLAGS
The sag command passes the first four of the following flags to sar in order to
collect the desired data for display. The last three flags specify plotting
parameters.
-e hh[:mm] Selects data up to the time specified by hh[:mm]). The
default time is 18:00.
-f file Reads data from file. The default file is /usr/adm/sa/sadd,
the current daily data file.

-i seconds Selects data at intervals as close as possible to seconds.
-s hh[:mm] Selects data later than the specified time. Default is
08:00.
-T work station Produces output suitable for work station. (See "tplot" for
known work stations.) If you do not specify a work station,
sag uses the value found in the shell variable $TERM.
-x spec Specifies the x axis. spec has the following form:
name [opname]...[lo hi]
where name is a character string matching a column header in
the sar-created data file (with an optional device name in
brackets), or it is an integer value. op is +, "-", "*", or
/ surrounded by blanks, with up to five names specified.
Parentheses are not recognized and evaluation is left to
right. The + and "-" have precedence over "*" and / in
evaluating expressions. lo and hi specify numeric scale
limits. If these limits are unspecified, sag gets these
limits from the data.
-y spec Specifies the y axis. spec has the same form as x spec.
Specify only one spec for the x axis. If unspecified, the x axis assumes the
time specified with the -e and -s flags (or their defaults if they are not
used) as x axis limits. You can specify up to five specs separated by ; (a
semicolon) for -y. If unspecified, the y axis has the value:
-y "%usr 0 100; %usr + %sys 0 100; %usr + %sys + %wio 0 100"
If you include blanks or an escaped carriage return (\Enter) within the -x and
-y specs, enclose them in " " (double quotation marks).
FILES
/usr/adm/sa/sadd Daily data file for day dd.
