Obdient runs microport SysV/386 3.0U. To be honest I started the accounting stuff running and only looked at a few screens of the output. sar -d does *NOT* seem to work properly here, either. It produces a blank report form, just like yours. sar is in there, the -d option is in there, but it doesn't look like the data is.... Interestingly, the sar -r (unused memory pages) and sar -S (server and request queue) options both crash and report floating point execption - core dumped errors. Anyone else report these conditions? Maybe I'm missing an option too..... While we're on the subject - here's an official "Boy is there egg on *my* face" apology to Karl Denninger at ddsw1, original poster of this discussion. I just saw "sar" and didn't realize that he was referring to a single option of "sar", one which I have little occasion to use.
