Well the OS uses swap, i dont know if its possible to then tie that |
| 8 |
directly to a process. You can find out if swap is being at all using |
| 9 |
with vmstat; so= swap out, si=swap in. |

For example, watch the following when you view the video |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
adam@proxy ~ $ vmstat -S M 3 |
| 14 |
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- |
