My system has suddenly started swapping and i've no idea why.

ps -aux: 57 processes, 47% (of 192M) in use

cat /proc/meminfo
MemFree: 2
SwapTotal: 200
SwapFree: 118

I'm using 80M of swap space and i've no idea why...

Are there any tools to have a more thorough look at whats in memory? ps
just isn't cutting it

TIA

Carl
