Which version of manpages?
I found many manpages on internet that show the 'w' field under procs:
http://node1.yo-linux.com/cgi-bin/man2html?cgi_command=vmstat
http://www.princeton.edu/~psg/unix/solaris/troubleshoot/vmstat.html
http://www.linuxinfor.com/italian/man8/vmstat.html
http://www.linuxvalley.it/encyclopedia/ldp/manpage/man8/vmstat.8.php
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8178
But I found also manpages which do not show the 'w' field:
http://www.yiluda.net/manual/linux/man/vmstat.html
http://man.linuxquestions.org/index.php?query=vmstat§ion=8&type=2
The reason is the procps version as I found here:
http://procps.sourceforge.net/changelog.html , changelog 3.2.1:
> ps: STAT flags for swapped out process dropped (was broken)
I have a new procps version 1:3.2.7-2, and my manpage isn't up to date
(but I have the last manpage package 2.35-1).
Anyone have an alternative to see how many processes are currently
swapped out, since vmstat support for that option is broken?

Hi!
I read on the documentation and on internet that vmstat should show a
column named 'w' under the header 'procs' which counts the number of
swapped out processes.
The man page for vmstat on my etch bos does not show that. Only the
r: and b: fields.
vmstat part of procps version 3.2.7-2 here.
Well, I can't see that column on my output (all other columns are ok).
What can I do to have vmstat report it?
In which other way can I see swapped out processes?
Haven't a clue as the man page only shows
Swap
si: Amount of memory swapped in from disk (/s).
so: Amount of memory swapped to disk (/s).
