| In our HP-UX 11.11 box, sar data is generated in a slightly diferent name
formatted file like /var/adm/sa/sa0323 - usually it is sa#dd; but in our
case it is sa#mmdd. I guess it is set by the script /usr/lbin/sa/sa1.
So, when I do
sar -u , sar complains that /var/adm/sa/sa23 is not found. I can un like
sar -u -f /var/adm/sa/sa0323.
However, I want to avoid typing the full file name every time I run the sar
ie, I just want to run sar as:
sar -u
or sar -d etc without the filename?
How do I do that?

On a Sun box, the script /usr/lib/sa/sa1 includes the sa-file format:

I assume on your HP box the script /usr/lbin/sa/sa1 would read
DATE=`/usr/bin/date +%m%d`. If so, just remove the %m.
This way you will of course only have sa-files for no longer period
than one month.

| Yes, /usr/lbin/sa/sa1 script is set ro read with %m%d format. However, I do
not have the privilege to make any changes to it. How should I proceed?

Er, I guess you could create a script on your path (named sars?),
something like:
#!/bin/ksh
day=`date "+%m%d"`
sar -f /var/adm/sa/sa$day $@
Then just run "sars" with the appropriate arguments. Of course, if you
would want to run the -f argument, you would need to either run "sar"
or add the mechanism to handle it in the script.
