{bb} vmstat-larrd.pl patch that graphs both RHL and RHEL clients?

[Richard Westlake <r.westlake@mail.cryst.bbk.ac.uk>]

Hi all
The problem is that vmstat-larrd.pl doesn't know which version of vmstat
the values came from. A possible solution would be for vmstat-bf.sh to
include the column headers in the data it sent to the server. The
vmsta-larrd.pl could identify what each column did.

You could look at bb-sar or the work Brian Kelly did with bb-iostat.

The version of bb-sar I downloaded from deadcat did have problems when I
updated sar on some of my systems.
I have a modified version of bb-sar, but I haven't had the time to tidy up
the changes enough to contribute them back. If anyone wants it let me
know.

All the best
