swapped apps

[nychris]

Does anyone know if its possible to look at which applications are currently using up swap space? I believe the output of "ps -ef" will show you swapped out apps in brackets ( [app] ), but that doesn't show you all of them, nor does it show you how much swap space they are actually using.

RHEL and SLES

Thanks

I havent seen any such util..
The closest one memstat(1) printing the amount of private memory (excluding shared mem) for each process.

memstat (1) - Identify what's using up virtual memory.

. Mac for productivity
.. Linux for developement
... Windows for solitaire

Thats not exactly what I want, but I'll take a look anyway as it might be useful elsewhere. I don't seem to have it installed any any of my SLES or RHEL servers. What RPM package is it from? There aren't any RH packages called memstat, so maybe the package is called something else.

Just finding old rpms around, get it from debians package page.
I know of no call that checks whenever a process/memory address is having swapped context. There are some other similiar calls tho, no help.

Those only seem to be .deb packages, which makes sense considering its a Debian site I'm running SLES and RHEL, so I need RPMs or source. I got the source, I'll give it a try.


If anyone else has any suggestions going back to my first post, please let us know.


Thanks,

I know, I got the source, thanks. I only posted that because you said your looking for RPMs on the site.
