I had that on the back of my mind during a few changes to the script that 
are FreeBSD specific. Fortunately the actual changes made to this could be 
wrapped up by a minimal amount of if statements that could separate the 
FreeBSD side from the original Solaris output restoring common 
functionality to both sides.

As for arcstat.pl I am not sure at this point what it would take to 
convert that to something that would run on both or even if the 
modifications to arcstat.pl that are FreeBSD specific would run on a 
Solaris box as-is.

Ill give all this some testing over the next week and see what I come up 
with. If anyone wants to submit some patches to the two adjustments 
discussed above I would love to include them or at least build upon the 
ideas.

Thanks.

Hope you feel better. I hate having dental work done. Though I hadn't had 
much I did have 5 teeth pulled at the same time once and ouch! is about 
what sums it up.
