-
-See the CHANGES file to know the new features/improvements/bug fixes added
-in this release of sysstat.
-
-You can also track sysstat development on GitHub:

-
-INSTALLATION
-------------
-
-The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools for
-Linux. These include mpstat, iostat, tapestat, cifsiostat, pidstat,
-sar, sadc, sadf and sa tools.
-
-The first stage is to configure sysstat for your system:
-
- ./configure
-
-You can set several variables and parameters on the command line.
-Please enter "./configure --help" to display them.
-There is another way to configure sysstat instead of entering "./configure":
-this is the Interactive Configuration script (iconfig) which will ask you
-for the value of the main sysstat variables and parameters.
-Enter "./iconfig" then answer the questions or enter Return to accept
-the (sane) default values. For yes/no questions, please answer 'y' or 'n'
-(without the quotes): It is case sensitive! You can also enter '?' to get
-a help message that will explain the meaning of each variable or parameter.
-
-The next stage is to build the various binary files. Enter:
-
- make
-
-Then log in as root and enter:
-
- make install
-
-(see next section to know the files that are installed).
-That's all!
-
-Of course tell me if there are any problems. This is the only way I can improve
-'sysstat'. Please also remember to read the FAQ included in this package.
-
-Patches and suggestions for improvements are always welcome!
-Send them to (sysstat <at> orange.fr).
-
-
-FILES THAT ARE INSTALLED
-------------------------
-
-Here is the list of files installed by sysstat, when you ask for a
-complete installation.
-${PREFIX} is the value of the PREFIX variable defined in the Makefile
-(usually set to /usr/local or /usr).

-${RC_DIR}/rc2.d/S03sysstat

-${RC_DIR}/rc5.d/S03sysstat
-
-sysstat may also install some links in ${RC_DIR}/rc[0146].d/ directory
-if chkconfig is used.
-
-MISCELLANEOUS
--------------
-
-The sysstat commands are only front-ends to the kernel proc filesystem...
-They cannot display statistics that Linux does not
-provide, nor can they be more accurate than Linux is.
-The sysstat package no longer supports 2.4.x and older kernels.
-Note that all kernels do not necessarily have all the statistics that
-sysstat commands can display, depending on their version or their
-configuration options.
-
-It has been designed with National Language Support (NLS) in mind, using
-the GNU gettext package (available at http://www.gnu.org).
-sysstat has been translated into several languages.
-Anyway you are welcome if you want to make other translations available ;-)
-Please read the README-nls file in the nls directory before.
