Thanks Guy. I don't even have a unix system here to do a man page. Talk about BOREDOM.

Hi Lisa,
IIRC, the first line of vmstat gives you cumulative values since system boot. And "2 10" means "every 2 seconds, 10 times" (on Solaris, at any rate).
Cheers,

2. vmstat - look at the two columns that start with pg. Read the man page and it will explain it to you in detail. Also, when you use vmstat be sure to give it an interval (like vmstat 2 10 - this means display stats once every 2 seconds for a duration of 10 seconds). The first line returned by vmstat will always be garbage (same with iostat).
