Hi all,

from time to time, SAR command prints 0 for %sys and %idle value which is not possible.

bash-3.00# sar -ugr -f /var/adm/sa/sa22|more

I did not understand what causes sadc to print zero values, I have checked other users's crontabs there is not any other entry which runs sadc. I really appreciate for the comments.

here is the some information about my system.

bash-3.00# uname -a
SunOS solg-3220 5.10 Generic_137137-09 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-T6320

bash-3.00# crontab -l sys

Howdy, Stranger!
