Hi everyone,

I have a FreeBSD 7.0-Release server that started to swap after an error 
in a shell script (process spawning competition ;-) ). I killed the 
shell and the RAM is now OK. The problem is that the swap is still used. 
How can I "reset" the swap?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge,

Martin
