I'm not the OP but posted a two part post that didn't quite come out |
| 26 |
like I expected. One for the OP to try to find out what was using swap, |
| 27 |
just in case it mattered. Two to ask how that is done in case he didn't |
| 28 |
know and for me since I don't know either. lol |

I was hoping for a command that says program foo is using X amount of |
| 31 |
swap but I guess not. |

Interesting that there isn't a real good tool for this. |
