Well, there are probably many things that are sufficient. However, I'm new to this so I may not know them.

The "si" and "so" fields do look to be exactly what I want.

I was using "vmstat -s" to format it so its easier to view.

It looks like "vmstat -n 1" starts all values from 0 and continues to update forever? If so, that is exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks!

EDIT: I didn't mean to be harsh in my previous post, just genuinely curious whether vmstat could do what you want, since it's a lot easier.

No offense taken at all. Vmstat is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks!
