comment Ubuntu Linux: Process swap memory and memory usage
If shm + rss are added, the output of free must be equal or lower, right? They are not: 190 MB swap (/proc/meminfo), 2700 MB rss and 5100 MB used (free -m -> swap + mem).

comment Ubuntu Linux: Process swap memory and memory usage
shared memory is not really big, normally? At least that's what I saw in the task manager. But my swap is pretty heavily used: 1035 MB; The sum of PS is 1 GB and the sum of swap + rss is > 2 GB. I want to see how much memory a process is really using, not just rss. Even more interessting would be how much swapped memory a process is using.

Sorry, i cannot accept this answer, because it doesn't answer the swap problem, but thank you anyway!

Oh, thank you! I always thought, that free -m shows the actual shared memory sum of the whole system. But as "man ps" points out: "The shared memory column should be ignored; it is obsolete."
