[NTLUG:Discuss] Program to view which programs are filling Swap

[Fred James]

David Simmons
I am not exactly sure what you are asking, so let me ask, will 'top' do 
what you need?  Under most implementations that I have seen, 'top' will 
provide some clue as to the memory usage for any given process  Possibly 
you could explore running 'top' in batch mode and retrieving the data 
for use in another program or database.

Hope this helps
Regards
Fred James
