We have a proprietry system, which runs on Tru64 Unix. It is a terminal based system. We are able to use the login 'vmstat' to the system which brings up a vmstat-like view. However, the information displayed is slightly different from the standard vmstat.

The 'r' for processes is part of the standard vmstat layout, but not 'w' or 'u'. I cannot find any references to this kind of vmstat layout on google. According to linuxcommand.org I should get the layout:
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa
instead of:
r w u act free wire fault cow zero react pin pout in sy cs us sy id
Is anybody able to shed any light as to why mine is different? Or at least what each of the fields mean?
