Pretty sure not. daily cron run at 12.00am, I run a daily smart short
test at 2.00am, and then this check at 4.00 am. I'll switch it off
tonight just to confirm that, by looking at the same sar data.
I think I read on the list that Neil discovered something that he
thinks might be causing it, I figured I just might be able to provide
some data to help confirm that.
Regards,
Mark.
