The man page for vmstat shows that the parameters are "delay" and "count".
So, for:
vmstat 300 2
it should give the first line of info, pause five minutes, then give the
second line, then exit. Try it in a terminal window and see... In other
words, it goes away anyway of its own accord, 5 minutes after it started.

when I do ./hobbit.sh stop, vmstat is not killed:

I noticed that if I do several "hobbit.sh restart", there will be extra
vmstat processes running.
For now I am manually killing them via "pkill vmstat" (on linux), after
I stop or restart Hobbit.
