Subject: sysstat-5.1.2 - System performance tools for Linux
Hi all,
This is to announce that sysstat 5.1.2 is now available for download.
This new development release brings several improvements. One of them is the
addition of /proc/partitions support to sar, enabling sar -d to also get disk
activity from this file (among other possible sources) providing that it
contains extended statistics data.
Sysstat 5.1.2 is available for download from my web page at:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sebastien.godard/
It is also available on ibiblio's Linux archive site:
ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/status/
132kB sysstat-5.1.2.tar.gz
103kB sysstat-5.1.2.tar.bz2
135kB sysstat-5.1.2-1.src.rpm
103kB sysstat-5.1.2-1.i386.rpm
The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools for
Linux. These include sar, sadf, mpstat, iostat and sa tools.
Feedback always welcomed. Send your remarks and comments to:
<sysstat|at|wanadoo|dot|fr>.

Enjoy!
Changes vs 5.1.1 are:
* sar -d now also uses /proc/partitions to get its data. From now on sar -d
looks in the following files in that order: /proc/diskstats, /proc/partitions,
/proc/stat.
* sadc writes disks data to file only if -d option is explicitly set on the
command line.
* sadc now reads individual interrupts data from /proc/stat only if -I option
was entered on the command line.
* 'sar -A' is now equivalent to 'sar -bBcdqrRuvwWy -I SUM -I XALL -n FULL -P
ALL' (i.e. individual interrupts are also included in activities).
* Option -m now tells iostat to display statistics in megabytes per second
instead of blocks per second.
* Make history (number of days to keep log files) configurable in
/etc/sysconfig/sysstat file, which is used by sa2 script.
* Now use Vixie cron to launch sadc when possible.
* sadc, sa1 and sa2 may now be installed in another directory than
${PREFIX}/lib/sa. This is useful on 64-bit systems where the proper directory
should be ${PREFIX}/lib64/sa.
* When uninstalling sysstat, always delete sysstat script, config file and
links in /etc tree. Also always delete Vixie cron entry.
* sysstat script now returns real exit code.
* sar/sadc: Stricter syntax checking for -x and -X options use.
