I am interested in any "history" in the SAR option of "S".  This option
gives statistics on "server requests, availability, etc".  However, in
the MIPs version of Unix, while they support the -S- option, the results
are always zero (0).  I also can not find any place in the source code
which updates the table which stores the information, i.e. no one updates
the table with structure of "dinfo" which is contained in the file sysinfo.h.

Does other implementations of Unix update this information?  Does someone
have some history on it?  If so, where can I read about it.

Thx,
