How do you reset the values that vmstat displays?
Vmstat displays a running average from the last the system was restarted on the first line, how do you reset these values without restarting the system? (Solaris 8)

You can't - it takes a reboot to reset them.

I've seen it for HP-UX (using the -z switch) and some linux. I was hoping that I had overlooked something in SUN-OS.

Nope, it looks as if SUN is lagging behind.
