Apparently pidstat was introduced in v8 of sysstat, so it's not yet
available for CentOS/RedHat, which still use v7. You could probably
install v8 from source yourself if you wanted.

Thanks! I'll probably do that! Sometimes the enterprise distros are a real
pain in the butt. Keep dishing out the dinosaur versions of every damn
package.

Well, that's the choice you make when you pick an enterprise distro. If
you'd picked something like Fedora, you'd be saying something like,
"Sometimes the cutting edge distros are a real pain in the butt, keep
dishing out bleeding-edge software that doesn't work." The 100% perfect
distribution simply doesn't exist. (So it's fortunate that we can
compile our own software--we can rely on the enterprise distro for
everything else, and build only the essential items we need ourselves.)

Agreed! But is there a good way to integrate self-compiled versions into
the yum/rpm system? Any tips? e.g. say, in a year CentOS does come up with
the latest version in its defaults is there a way to gracefully make yum
realize that I've already done this update. Or say, I tried to install a
new foopackage that relied on this latest version of barpackage (which I've
self compiled) is there a way to tell it that?

Build and install your own local packages.
