How to setup cron, sar & network cards


Hello All,

I need proceedures on setting up the following :

1) root crontab

2) setting up SAR ( system activity reporting )

3) checking the status of my lan cards ( how to check for full-duplex or
half-duplex ), and how to change it so when the system reboots it stays

Is there a good source, I can go to for these type of questions ?

Thanks

I'm new to linux

you need to provide more information

In the future, you might want to provide some information about your system and distro and what steps you have taken to solve your problems. This will encourage people to answer your posts.

editing root crontab

1. open a terminal and type

su root (enter /return)

2. provide root password (enter /return)

3. type: crontab -e (enter /return)

(this will open a editor similar to the program "vi")

to insert text type a full colon ":" and the letter i

to write to the file (save), type full colon ":" the letter w

to write to the file (save) and quite, type full colon ":" the letter w and q

to quit without saving changes , type full colon ":" the letter q and the exclamation point "!"


To check the status on your lan cards

1. open a terminal and type

su root (enter /return)

2. provide root password (enter /return)

3. type: mii-tool -v (enter /return)


To edit your NIC configurations, see:

SAR System Account Reporting

I assume that you are refering to " BSD-style process accounting."

try installing software like that included in (for Fedora's, for example) psacct-6.3.2-29.i386 RPM
