in terminal
type to commmand "top"
it will display all things running and a rundown of other system info -- including the amount of swap space used.
To get out of the program hit CTRL-C

Look at all your drives and partitions:
fdisk -l /dev/hd?
(assuming you have the typical ide-drives, like most PC's)
See all mounted drives and the space:
df -k
See the allocated swap space:
swapon -s
Ignore the first 3 or 4 responses.

Wouldn't the command "free" do??? And if you want to know which process is "eating" your memory, then "top" is the option...

The following command will give you the amount of RAM and SWAP in Megs.
/usr/bin/free -m
You can also cat the /proc/swaps file to see which partition was alocated to SWAP and it will show you the size of SWAP as well as the amount being used.
