Add timestamps to Unix commands that run at intervals
Authored by: cabodj on Jan 22, '10 11:58:33AM

If your goal is to analyze the vmstat output over time, look for trends, etc, you could also install the free Mac version of Splunk. Once installed, look at the *nix app which has built-in collection and reporting on vmstat and many other *nix command-line tools. Behind the scenes, it's running vmstat, timestamping the output, parsing it, then presenting it to you in a nice interface.

Thought I'd throw that out there for anyone who didn't already have another destination in mind for their vmstat data.
