Re: Nmon scheduling question

Vince this is a great script. I run it manually and it runs great. I
added this into my crontab below and it just never runs

25 15 * * * /usr/local/bin/nmon_script >/usr/local/log/error 2>&1



I checked the /var/adm/cron/log and all it says is:

root : CMD ( /usr/local/bin/nmon_script >/usr/local/log/error 2>&1
) : PID ( 135238 ) : Tue Oct 3 15:25:00 2006

Cron Job with pid: 135238 Failed



Would have any insite or direction to trouble shoot why this is not
kicking off in the cron? I checked all file paths and permissions and
everything seems to be correct.



Thx

Larry

Admins,



I know that nmon32 is not a supported tool by IBM but was wondering how
others had it setup. I have it installed on all my AIX 5.2 boxes and it
works great. I have used the analyzer spread *** and all. I really
like this tool. I would like to add this as a cron entry to run
everyday and keep the files for maybe a week at a time. I want to make
sure because these look like they can get sizeable. What I was going to
put is the following: 0 1 * * * /tmp/nmon_aix32 -s600 -c 144

Does anyone have a suggestion on a cron setting so that I can capture
daily snapshots throughout the day but for the entire day?



Thx

Larry
