No Manual Entry

Hi,
While executing the following command i am getting output as command not found.
iostat
output: command not found

Also, man iostat is displaying "NO Manual Entry"

Why is it so?

.. because there's no such utility?

thanks vgersh99
what do you mean by utility? Does it means some iostat packages has not been installed on my server?

I don't know what you mean by 'packages' in this context, but the utility/executable/binary/whatnot called 'iostat' is not found on your system.

Hi Salil,

iostat (and vmstat) are standard unix utilities which pre-date M$.
What operating system are you running?
uname -a
