Possible nomination for deletion

I suggest that this article (sysstat) be considered for deletion. At present, it contains only two sentences which seem to be inaccurate ("sysstat (system statistics) is a command-line tool that displays active processes and users. It is available on Unix and Unix-like operating systems."). A reference online says, "The sysstat utilities are a collection of performance monitoring tools for Linux." So "sysstat" itself is only the name of a package of tools (and is not the name of an executable tool) and appears to be available on Linux only (and on no other Unix variants). So the statements made seem to be inaccurate, and it is unclear that this article meets WP:NOTABILITY criteria. -- HLachman (talk) 17:31, 24 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

This may refer to the systat(1) BSD (since 4.3BSD) command, although I can see a sysstat(5) config file and a collection of shell scripts on a Debian system. I don't think that either are notable enough for a stub article. —Paleo Neonate – 11:12, 3 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
