[geeks] vmstat modification

[Will Mc Donald]

This...

vmstat -n 5 | awk '{ print $1 $2 $3 }'

will do the first three fields every 5 seconds. You can easily vary that for
which ever field no. you'd like output.  That the sort of thing you're
after? Of something more <homer> sophistimicated? </homer>
