VMSTAT

[Kenneth D. Fox WCSN Sr. Operations Engineer]

I have a question about the <vmstat> and <pstat> commands.
First I should tell you that I am not a veteran uni* user.

I would like to know (in plan english) what the output 
of this command is telling me. 


    procs  	       paging                              system        cpu
 r  b  w  si  so  ch  cm ffr swr sww rec shf shc cpy  pf  in   sy  cs  us su id


 1 35  0 242 264 59101 20218 20218 3422 4092 11547 188289 25300 56957 2286554 3171315 3922640 350882   1  1 98

Is there an easy way to interpret the data. I assume that this 
data is used to "tune" the operating system. I have read the 
manual.




Thank You,

KEN
