sar error

at work i have a HP-UX box. i attempt to use sar to monitor but it comes up with following message:

can't open /var/adm/sa/sa13

i recreated the file as i thought that was the problem but it was not.

cheers

hush

can anyone surggest an area to look into?

Always check the man pages for a command before posting any queries:

As is clear, if you just give the command 'sar' then sar searches for the current day's file in /var/adm/sa directory. If you want the current stats from sar, you have to provide the appropriate switch (such as -d for disk info, -u for cpu util and so on), the sampling interval and the number of samples.
