I took a test (at the request of an IT Recruiter) by a company called Proveit? There was a half dozen questions on "iostat" about the "-t" flag and "-sy" flag means. The real question is "Griag, the system seem to be really sluggest today, what up( or down)?" The answer : iostat, vmstat, top ....etc?

Do you know if it was adaptive i.e. if you got a question on a subject right it ask you another? Thanks for you comments David
