Furthermore, we've been able to convince SCO -- current owner of the "official" Unix code -- to open up the actual code to 'sar': http://www.sco.com/press/releases/1999/6868.html It's our intention to keep "osar" as portable as possible, and we can certainly use some help with people who are familiar with the ability to extract performance information from the BSD kernel. Please have a look at the website for this project at http://www.starnix.com/osar/ , and join the associated mailing list if interested.
