# Usage: collect-system-stats.sh <delay-in-seconds>
# This script starts sar/top/iostat/vmstat processes which collect system stats
# with the interval <delay-in-seconds> given as argument to the script. When
# the script is stopped either by entering any input or Ctrl+C the list of
# files where output is captured will be printed on the screen which can be
# observed to find any problems/bottlenecks.
