Short story, I'm looking for a vmstat replacement for my Intel based Mac. It is such a useful little tool that I'm surprise that Apple left if out of the standard tool set. I have been trying a few dashboard monitors but they just don't give me the combination of views that I can create while looking at vmstat output. Of the bunch I've looked at istat is the one that I like the best. However it still lacks usable history IMHO.
So, if anyone has a system monitoring tool that they like (or any other tool for that matter) I'm all ears.
unfortunately vm_stat is a poor cousin....
Hello Kirk! Definitely its not a vmstat clone nor has its options though I
use it in my Macs! Have you heard of MenuMeters , it is installed in the
upper menu area and provides 'real-time' sort of staticis regarding memory,
disk usage, network etc etc!
try iostat - i'm not sure it's exactly the same but it seems to be the
accepted mac equivalent
