You mean the vmstat processes ?

The reason is that they run pretty independent of everything else, just
collecting data over a 5 minute period. They will terminate by
themselves after at most 5 minutes; and if you're shutting down the
system, they will get killed.

It's not that it has to be this way, but it was just the easiest way of
doing it.
