We should clarify this on each supported OS. On RHEL5, "vmstat 10 2" gives me:

Yes, on FreeBSD it is behaving exactly like that. I guess I described it incorrectly. In order for it to hit 600 seconds it would have to have a third interval... so it prints once immediately at 0 seconds, and at 300 seconds it prints a second time and exits.
My mistake!
