I don't have much of an opinion. On FreeBSD I just pushed an update to
"pkill -U $xymon_client_user vmstat" so it cleans up on a stop/restart.
I swear I saw the vmstat live on longer than 5 minutes, but maybe I need
to do some more formal testing. It appears that the command is:
vmstat 300 2
but on FreeBSD that means it updates/prints new output every 300 seconds
and the 2 means two intervals, so I guess the max time it will run is 10
minutes / 600 seconds?
Interesting. I guess that makes it similar to AIX in that regards.

We should clarify this on each supported OS.
On RHEL5, "vmstat 10 2" gives me:
-bash-3.2$ vmstat 10 2
