However, the result is that you can't do a restart on Solaris 10 with SMF if you are using vmstat. I have patched my scripts on Solaris to kill the child processes.

On FreeBSD when I stop the Xymon client process it doesn't clean up all
of its children. Primarily you'll find that the vmstat command is not

I have observed this behavior on Solaris, but the vmstat does eventually
disappear. It does not run forever.
