Are there any command line commands which will help me to isolate big 'swap hogs' on our server? Our total swap space used right now is 96% and I want to try to figure out what processes are using the bigger portions of that space.

TIA
 
Hello Craig,

Swap usage is exactly the same as memory usage. You can use ps to identify which are the largest processes.

I like to use 'glance'... other like to use 'top'
 
The following ps command may be of help: -

ps -eO vsize | grep M | sort -bnr +1
