This also applies to RHEL3 GA and RHL9. $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/vmstat procps-2.0.13-9.2E $ vmstat 2 2 procs memory swap io system cpu r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 2 0 11064 43608 126412 6265372 1 3 1 4 1 3 4 1 2 0 1 0 11064 43608 126412 6265372 0 0 0 126 156 26 50 0 49 0 According to man page the last column is supposed to be CPU idle (id). In the previous versions for example procps-2.0.7-11 the output looks as follows which is correct. procs memory swap io system cpu r b w swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id 0 0 0 116 1088724 135372 2452512 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 116 1088724 135372 2452512 0 0 0 38 564 49 0 0 100 Please correct this to be same as previous versions. I was told by Rob Love <rml> that This is "fixed" in the current procps CVS and in the procps currently in Fedora. So Red Hat just needs to upgrade the package in RHEL3. Thanks, Pethuraj I would highly appreciate it if i am notified about how to download once the new rpms available for i686, x86_64 and ia64. Fixed in Current Release 3.1.15 |
