    My AMP is starting to use more swap memory.  When I run TOP in the cli I see below:  What is yes?

    There's no process called 'yes'.  Do you have any 3rd party packages installed?  Is there a yes.log in /var/log?  Sounds fishy and may warrant opening a support case to look into.

    I did create a call to TAC and learned the following and I thought I should share:

     

    The process you mentioned “yes”, you need to kill the process. Someone might have executed the “yes” on the command line prompt. The yes command is used to output "y" forever.

     

    So, you can kill the process or reboot.
