 # Script Name: System Usage Monitor for Raspberry Pi
 # Description: This script uses the 'sar' command to monitor system usage on a Raspberry Pi over a specified duration.
 # Usage: ./start_sar.sh <custom_name> <interval_in_seconds> <count>
 #
 # Installation: sudo apt install sysstat
 # Source: https://github.com/sysstat/sysstat
 #
 # Arguments:
 #   <custom_name>         : A custom name prefix for the output file.
 #   <interval_in_seconds> : Interval between each sample in seconds.
 #   <count>               : Total number of samples to be taken.
 #
 # Output:
 #   The output will be a file named `<custom_name>_<start_time>_to_<end_time>.dat` 
 #   stored in a directory called `sar` within the user's home directory.
 #
 # Example:
 #   ./start_sar.sh my_monitor 5 60
 #   This would monitor the system every 5 seconds, for a total of 60 times.

 # Calculate the end time based on the given duration
 END_TIME=$(date -d "+$DURATION seconds" +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
