What might be the best way to find out what could be hogging swap-space?

Hi Ted

Try running top and then press the f key to add another field, then the p key to add the swap size. You can change the sort order of top on the latest versions, press h for help to see if yours can do that. Hope that helps, Maz.

Thanks, yes it does a bit! Unfortunately swap is not one of the variables I can sort on in my 'top'. A:age M:resident memory usage N:pid T:time (or cumulative time) P:CPU usage only! Tried getting 'ps' to show me, but it's confusing and I'm not sure whether it did or not.
