Looking at a web/email server with the following from "top" ...


last pid: 29494;  load averages:  0.00,  0.00,  0.00   up 85+12:33:05=
  23:07:44
39 processes:  1 running, 37 sleeping, 1 zombie
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  100%=
 idle
Mem: 197M Active, 545M Inact, 176M Wired, 51M Cache, 112M Buf, 33M Free
Swap: 2048M Total, 184K Used, 2048M Free


Does it look like the swap file is way too big? The box has been online for=
 awhile, yet it seems like the swap file is not utilized very much at all.=
 For that matter, the server is clearly overpowered for what it does, but=
 better than underpowered I suppose.

Also, I cannot seem to get rid of that zombie... it happens at boot time:

root       0  0.0  0.0     0    0  ??  ZW   -         0:00.00  (perl)

Thanks,
Chris
