Hi,

The top command output on a server we have shows the following:

last pid: 20766; load averages: 0.25, 0.35, 0.38
10:23:03
89 processes: 88 sleeping, 1 on cpu
CPU states: % idle, % user, % kernel, % iowait, % swap
Memory: 8192M real, 2748M free, 4817M swap in use, 17G swap free

So, there are real memory available, but Solaris (9) uses swap space.

Why? How can I find out what processes are using swap?

Thanks
