The following solution is working great! Symlinks have remained past the 1
week mark. Many thanks.
> find /var/adm/sa \( -name 'sar*' -o -name 'sa*' \) -mtime +7 -exec rm {}
\;
Add the '-type f' option to the find command to restrict the rm
to files only.

Some other suggestions, the original post follows:
Check your crontabs. Perhaps one of them is doing some housekeeping? Work
out when it's disappearing and what was running via cron at the time, by
looking in the cron log file.

Try changing the find command so it doesn't remove symlinks, something like
> find /var/adm/sa \( -name 'sar*' -o -name 'sa*' \) -mtime +7 ! -type l
> -exec rm {} \;
>
you may need to fiddle the logic a bit to make sure the "! -type l" is
and-ed with the rest. Alternatively you could use something like -type f
for a plain file (ie, not a directory, symlink, named pipe etc).
hope this helps,
Robert.

I created a symlink for /var/adm/sa to a new disk, /disk1/var/adm/sa
in order to have sufficient disk space for sar reports. Everything works
well, however every few days the symlink in the /var/adm directory for sa
disappears.
