The following people have contributed to 'sysstat' in one way or another: First I would like to thank Michael <michael@roka.net>: He is the very first person to have given me feedback about sysstat, and to point out to me that certain fields in /proc/stat didn't have the meaning I thought they had. This was in 1999! Many thanks to the translators involved in sysstat: * Birko Bergt <birko.bergt@gmx.de> for his translation in german, * Fernando FĂ©lix Redondo <fernando.felix@rediris.es> for his translation in spanish (now maintained by Muralito <muralito@montevideo.com.uy>), * Frederic L. W. Meunier <0@pervalidus.net> for the portuguese translation. Carl-Christian Weber <ccweber@itz-koeln.de> helped me to make sar work on SMP machines. Stefan Majer <smajer@advance-bank.de> provided me with a patch to rotate daily system activity files. Klaus Franken <klaus.franken@fth2.siemens.de> created the RPM packages. He also included a short initialization script for sar to start it as a daemon on boot. Mario Vanoni <vanonim@dial.eunet.ch> is the originator of the 2.x to 3.x version transition. Thanks to his numerous advice and his experience on UN*X systems, he helped me to make sar what I think today is a true system monitoring program. Jason (Jay) R. Fink <jay_rf@exis.net> set up and maintained the first web site for sysstat. Preston Brown <pbrown@redhat.com> sent me the RedHat patch to enable good packaging. David Doubrava <linux_monitor@volny.cz> created the isag command (Interactive System Activity Graph). Rik van Riel <riel@conectiva.com.br> explained me the meaning of several fields that were added in Linux kernel 2.4 /proc/meminfo file.
