In a way, that's one manifestation of my suggestion. :-)

If you want checkpointing but don't want to zero the in-kernel counters, I=
=20
really think the best thing is to have userland apps help you out. Have=20
systat show you since-start values and fire it up in a screen=20
(pkgsrc/misc/screen) and you're set.

Take care,
