Displaying Virtual Memory
Statistics
In its default mode the vmstat command displays information
about processes, memory, paging, block IO, and different
levels of CPU activity. As with iostat, the first detail lines
produced report averages since the last reboot. Subsequent
detail lines report information using the interval specified on
the command line. The process and memory portion of the
detail lines are instantaneous statistics in either case.
As with the other commands in this series, the vmstat command
is driven by delay and count options that determine the time
interval between report lines and the totals number of intervals
to be reported.
