 unfortunately, no. It produces interactive output, I want cumulative output
 over a defined timeperiod so I can capture and store the data for historical
 trending -- I can do that with iostat for total transactions, but it's key to
 be able to do it for reads vs writes when profiling a database application.
 
 Thanks,
 Adi
