From: Sebastien GODARD Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2020 05:55:19 +0000 (+0200) Subject: sysstat-12.4.0 X-Git-Tag: v12.4.0 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26a5665e4eccdf56a686c80b6384dbfce9e97fcf;p=sysstat sysstat-12.4.0 sysstat version 12.4.0 final packaging. Changelog added. No breaking new features here but numerous small improvements over the last previous version. Among them: * All the sysstat commands now display their statistics in color by default when the output is connected to a terminal, * sar "pretty-prints" the device names by default, which means you won't need to use option -p with option -d to display the device names as they appear in /dev, * You can tell the sa2 script to wait for a random delay before executing in order to prevent a massive I/O burst on some systems, * You can also tell the sa1 script to insert a comment in current daily datafile saDD on system suspend and resume, ... and more ! See the CHANGES file for more details.
