sag

PURPOSE

     Displays a graph of system activity.

SYNOPSIS
     sag [ options ]


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 parame-
     ters.

     -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  workstation  Produces     output     suitable     for
                      workstation.   (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 fol-
                      lowing 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.  Note that + and "-" have preced-
                      ence  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 :
     (semicolons) 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).
