It outputs a nicely formatted table of memory, cpu, and disk subsystem activity. Very good for isolating performance problems, you can run one command and say "ah hah, your problem is that the disks are running like gerbils on crack and the system is spending all its time blocked and waiting for disks.

At a command line run "top" (without the quotes) you'll see your swap usage there. Second way as root run "cat /proc/meminfo" (no quotes) and you will see the swap info there. james > > > > __ > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
