System monitoring with sar
Recently I have come acrossed to the command, sar, which can be used to retrieve past system performance. (something similar to TOP, but TOP is real time, while sar is past information)
Even in vbird, the command is barely mentioned only, the following article is a good introduction article describe how to use, very useful:

basic usage:
sar // to get the CPU statistics
sar -r // RAM statistics
sar -b // Disk statistics
sar -s 17:00:00 -e 17:30:00 // Retrieve the past info between 1 7:00-17:30 |
