Well the OS uses swap, i dont know if its possible to then tie that directly to a process. You can find out if swap is being at all using with vmstat; so= swap out, si=swap in. For example, watch the following when you view the video adam@proxy ~ $ vmstat -S M 3 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 0 1290 379 6617 0 0 26 56 108 107 2 3 93 2 0 0 0 1290 379 6617 0 0 1 15 87 91 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 1290 379 6617 0 0 0 0 59 54 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 1290 379 6617 0 0 0 7 72 73 0 0 100 0
