Because top
or htop
could be not installed on small systems, browsing /proc
stay always possible.
Even on small systems, you will found a shell
...
This is exactly same than lolotux script, but without any fork to grep
, awk
or ps
. This is a lot quicker!
And as bash is one of the poorest shell regarding performance, a little work was done to ensure this script will run well under dash, busybox and some other. Then, (thanks to Stéphane Chazelas,) become a lot quicker again!
#!/bin/sh

printf "Total swapped memory: %14u KB\n" $OVERALL
Don't forgot to double quote "$PROGNAME"
! See Stéphane Chazelas's comment:
read FIELD PROGNAME < <(
perl -ne 'BEGIN{$0="/*/*/../../*/*"} print if /^Name/' /proc/self/status
)
echo $FIELD "$PROGNAME"
Don't try echo $PROGNAME
without double quote on sensible system, and be ready to kill current shell before!
As this become a not so simple script, time is comming to write a dedicated tool by using more efficient language.

could by run with one of
-c sort by command name
-p sort by pid
-m sort by swap values
by default, output is sorted by status's vmsize
