Hi,

  Here is where you can pick up vsar:

   http://www.jumbo.com/bus/unix/sysadmin/vsar.tar.Z.download.htp

  Here's the docs(thanks to leif@netscape.com):

 */

Command line options:

-i <interval> Sample collection interval. (All output values are
                always per second irrespective of the sample interval)

-l Lock down vsar pages in memory.

-d <dumpfile> Dump output file name. Default is "vsar.out"

-D <interval> Dump output to file every "interval" seconds.

-r Reset counters after dump

-p <N> Display top N processes by time consumed in last sample.

-k Display kmem information on a per pool basis.

Keystrokes when "vsar" is active:

n/N Go to next screen
p/P Go to previous screen
^D Scroll up half screen
^U Scroll down half screen
j/J Scroll up one line
k/K Scroll down one line

^L Redraw the screen

m/M turn on/off per pool kmem allocation information

w/W turn on/off detailed active processes information
                Number of procs displayed is NCPU * 2 if none provided
                in the command line with -p option.

d/D Dump the current screen image to file <dumpfile>.0000
                (next d command will dump it to file 0001, 0002 and so
on)
r/R Reset all counters (Need to do this if you add/remove
cpus
                online)

! Escape to user shell. vsar keeps running in the
background.
                (will have to do a ^L to redraw the screen once you come
                back into vsar)

Display information:

Top left corner Sample collection start time or last reset time.
Center Vsar version # Hostname & uptime
(N.NN) Length of the last sample in seconds
Top Right corner Current time

All delta values are per second deltas irrespective of the interval
length.

The second row under the label is the average value. This average is
computed between the time on the top left and right corners of the
screen.

CPU, Net and Disk values are per column.

Label Description

CPU Logical cpu number
ID Physical CPU id
%usr % time spent in the last sample in user mode
%avg % average time spent in the user mode (since collecting
samples)

%avg % average time spent in the system mode (since .. )
%wio % time spent in the last sample in idle waiting for IO
%avg % average time spent in idle waiting for IO (since .. )

%avg % average time spent in idle (since .. )
MadpE Adaptive mutex enters for this cpu
avg Average adaptive mutex enters for this cpu
Average System wide average for all categories

Proc information (-p N or 'w') key.
(NOTE: With the 'w' the # of processes displayed is NCPU *2.)

Pid unique process id of the process
User login name for that uid
S state of the process
                        S - on processor
                        S - sleeping
                        T - being traced
                        Z - defunct (zombie)
                        R - on runq
                        I - being created
CLS Class
                        TS - Time Share
                        RT - Real Time
                        SYS - System Process

Time total cpu time consumed in minutes and seconds
%CPU percentage time spent executing in the last sample
Syscall last system call executed by this process
TTY controlling tty device under /dev directory
Process name of this process

(Entries are reverse sorted by the %cpu taken in the last sample
and for among all the processes that have not run in the last sample
they are sorted based on the cpu time they have consumed)
