1) Collect an hourly execution of "uptime ; vmstat -sv" to a monthly textfile.

Cron this hourly collection of "vmstat -sv" to an ever-growing textfile with something not unlike:
"uptime >> /tmp/vmstatSV.`hostname` ; vmstat -sv >> /tmp/vmstatSV.`hostname`"

Any 14Day collection of the above will be less than 80kbytes.


2) Mundane Performance Data Collection:
NOTE:  There is a subsection of rootuser commands in the below script.

Please execute&collect and share it to me at earlj@us.ibm.com,
and I will review and offer my findings by concall. 

Please execute this at any time with-or-without an active workload.  
Either way, useful historical data is collected.
  
The script below collects 4mb-20mb of text per run.
