+1  Q: 

Program just filled up my memory and started filling up swap in Xubuntu

Is there a way to find out what process or what is filling up the memory? I just wrote a program that seems to fill it up rather quickly and not release it afterwards.

Thanks in advance!

+1  A: 

Use top or htop (nicer view).
