Whenever I run tin it seems die. When viewing /var/log/messages I get this error Oct 27 13:35:52 blinx /kernel: pid 166 (rtin), uid 1002, was killed: out of swap space Oct 27 13:35:52 blinx /kernel: pid 166 (rtin), uid 1002, was killed: out of swap space Somehow swap space hasnt been released, maybe due to the fact that someone has not exited tin correctly. I temporary solved the problem by using the swapon command, however it seemed to want a file /dev/sd0s1b, which did not exist until I made it with MAKEDEV. (swapon -a) Tin now works this way, but is this a valid solution to this problem, how I view the swap space been used and by what process (vmstat??? maybe?)? How do I release swap space? Regards Darryl.
