ksar: a sar grapher: usage

If you are the first time user of kSar, you can unzip it and start it in Linux by

# unzip kSar-5.0.6.zip
# cd kSar-5.0.6
# sh run.sh

It should able to start the GUI if the java is in your path. If it is not, you can set $JAVA_HOME first. E.g.:

# export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08
# sh run.sh

And then you can try everything in the GUI.

But if you are a heavy user of kSar like me, you should learn this:

# sh run.sh -input /var/log/sa/sar13

And there are many others useful command line argument. You should have a look to them by:

# sh run.sh -help
