top is great for finding things like that. Run 'top', then press "M" to sort by resident memory (usually good enough) or press F (change sort column) then o (select virtual mem.) The biggest consumers will be listed at the top, and you can kill them (k) by pid from within top (defaults to sending a SIG_INT, iirc.) or you can just figure out which window it is on your own from the command name shown in top. --Rogan > > Swap dropped to 10% > > linux-yug > > On Tue, 2009-03-31 at 07:44 -0700, linux-yug wrote: >> HI >> >> >> How do I get swap to go down?? >> >> It is currently at 95%... >> >> I had firefox up and it leaked and filled swap.. >> >> Killed firefox but, swap is still high... >> >> Guess I could log out and log in?? >> >> There must be a better way?? >> >> TIA >> >> Linux-yug >> >> _______________________________________________ >> PLUG mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug >> > > _______________________________________________ > PLUG mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug > _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
