[net.unix.wizards] need help w/4.2 process accounting

jpl@mhtsa.UUCP (01/24/84)

I have problems with 4.2BSD sa command (i have used 4.1 w/ no problem)
1)  memory use - mostly 0 but some large negative integers
2)  user and system times are very different from 4.1 values
	(they are now mostly 0)
3)  average io - also considerably different, but this could be due
	to new filesystem layout
Anyway, if anyone else has experienced similar problems (and hopefully solved)
i would appreciate hearing from you.  Also vmstat results appear flakey,
indicating paging activity when no processes are running or have been
for some time.

I have fixed sa and the kernel to fix all those accounting problems, as
well as change the accounting increment from 1 second to 100th. As soon
as I get around to paramterizing the latter I will send out the changes
and a rationale.
