I get a "no iostat in " in  a big long path statement when I do:

which iostat

I also "locate iostat". It just comes back to the prompt.

For RHEL AS 3. /usr/bin/iostat is included in "sysstat" package.
Be default, "sysstat" is not installed.
You can run the following command as root:
up2date -i sysstat
to instsll it if your RHEL machine is registered on RHN.
