When vmstat first runs, it produces a line of garbage. Spotlight on Unix has a bug that it doesn't ignore the first line, hence an incorrect CPU value.
WORKAROUND:
1. Exit Spotlight on Unix.
2. Make backup copies of the UNIX.XML in the following directories (by default):
C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Spotlight\Plug-ins\DatasourceSSH and
C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Spotlight\Plug-ins\DatasourceRexec
3. Unzip the attached file UNIX.XML
4. Copy the attached file into the above directories.
5. Run Spotlight on Unix to verify the fix.
Note: The attached patch file only applied to Spotlight on Unix 2.0.1.101.
STATUS
Will be fixed in the future release.
