Any recommendations for low-impact tools I can use to better understand the activity of expired processes?
minus-squaretetris11OPlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 month agoYeah, so this is the best one I’ve seen so far. I’ve just installed it, but I’m stumped on the documentation on how to find the name of a high-load process from 10 mins ago. Install and start the monitoring sudo pacman -S sysstat sudo systemctl {enable,start} sysstat Find what processes were running 10 minutes ago (first wait 10 minutes) sar -P ALL -f /var/log/sa/sa$(date +%d -d '10 minutes ago') nothing happens.

sar -P ALL -f /var/log/sa/sa$(date +%d -d '10 minutes ago')
nothing happens.
fyi, systemctl disable/enable has a --now flag
