Linux Swapping - identifying the process

Hi

I ran the command
Code:
vmstat -s

, the output is below

Code:
    2335876  total memory
      2307284  used memory
       902984  active memory
       953180  inactive memory
        28592  free memory
       445848  buffer memory
      1234196  swap cache
       779872  total swap
        57184  used swap
       722688  free swap
      1425586 non-nice user cpu ticks
       137569 nice user cpu ticks
      1253812 system cpu ticks
    136556548 idle cpu ticks
       499759 IO-wait cpu ticks
        80609 IRQ cpu ticks
        47344 softirq cpu ticks
      2631596 stolen cpu ticks
      7401052 pages paged in
     19325628 pages paged out
           24 pages swapped in
        14301 pages swapped out
            0 interrupts
    221749766 CPU context switches
   1398654642 boot time
       251203 forks

I can see some swapping of 57184 Kb like about 58MB approximately.

Is there any way to know which process name and timestamp at which this swapping occurred on machine ?

My aim is to make sure that there is no swapping on my system

Any help is much appreciated - Thanks

PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. Please notice this option isn't related to the terminal length as in a "80 culums terminal". --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do right to left (RTL) layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter and A4. Default is A4. Postscript points Each postscript point equals to 1/72 of an inch. 36 points are 1/2 of an inch. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --gutter-width=gw Set gutter width. Default is 40 postscript points. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
