Hi all.

Does anyone out there have a solution to flushing swap, besides for
rebooting the machine, buying more ram or increasing the size of the swap
partition ?

My swap fills up and doesn't seem to let go of its contents after I quit
out of applications. I've got 32mb of RAM and am running X.

[chain] ~$ swapinfo
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd1s1b     44128    42000     2064    95%    Interleaved

The processes I'm running are 

[chain] ~$ ps -uaxwww | grep khetan | awk {'print $11'}
/usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin
xearth
fvwm95-2
-bash
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95-2//FvwmButtons
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95-2//FvwmTaskBar
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95-2//FvwmAuto
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
xdaliclock
xload
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm95-2//FvwmPager
-bash
-bash
rxvt
top
(pine)
/bin/sh
rxvt
ps
grep
-bash
