[Ilugc] Help required....Require a script to filter information from vmstat output...Clarification INside...

[zulfilee]

My vmstat shows

 procs                      memory      swap          io     system      cpu
 r  b  w   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   so    bi    bo   in    cs us sy id
 1  0  0  83256   3356   3240  41552    4   20    62    32  140   601  3  1 97

Here i get the fields using

$PROCS=`vmstat | sed -n   2,10p | tr -s " " | cut -d " " -f 1-4`
$MEMORY=`vmstat | sed -n   2,10p | tr -s " " | cut -d " " -f 5-7`

And so on

The sed is to strip the first line
Tr is to squeeze the spaces and cut to get the fileds I want

So you can just call echo $PROCS, $MEMORY, etc..
It can be made a lot easier if sed is used

Cheers
