That's the server's login banner. Quick read:
1. Swap at 98% is the only real red flag — something is pushing memory pressure (load 4.86 also suggests activity). Disk (53%) and RAM (52%) are fine.
2. I can dig in — top swap consumers, what process is ballooning, etc.
What do you want to do?
Found it. Here's the story:
1. Swap being 98% full is NOT the problem — si/so are ~0 (nothing actively swapping in/out). It's cold pages swapped out weeks ago, and you have 5.6GB RAM available. Harmless.
2. Load 4.87 on 6 cores is moderate — vmstat shows ~50% idle. Not saturated.
3. The actual waste: 3 stale "agy" processes (~630MB RAM combined, ~1.5 cores of CPU, running 4-10 days):
- PID 635789 — launched Aug 3, current binary
- PID 2298618 — 10 days old, binary DELETED (upgraded and left behind)
- PID 572333 — 4 days old, binary DELETED
4. Other notable consumers (all legit): tcharts Rust 480MB, flattrade+kotak gunicorn 475MB each, omniroute 355MB, journald 349MB, hermes gateway 349MB.
Killing the 2 stale agy instances (deleted binaries, running 4-10 days) is a safe ~450MB + 1 core reclaim. The third one — want me to check what it's doing before touching it?

Checked. Here's what agy is:
1. "agy" = Google Antigravity CLI (Gemini's agent CLI) — lives in ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/.
2. PID 635789 (the current one): an ORPHANED session. Its terminal (pts/8) is gone, and it's doing zero work — just idle keepalive polling of Google's backend (fetchAvailableModels + loadCodeAssist every ~6 min, log confirms it's been doing this since Aug 3). Token auto-refreshes, so it'll keep polling forever.
3. The other two (2298618, 572333) are old-version leftovers — same CLI, binaries deleted after an upgrade, same orphaned behavior.
4. Net: all three are abandoned agent sessions. Safe to kill all 3 — reclaims ~630MB RAM + ~1.5 cores, nothing productive running in any of them.
Kill all 3?

Done. All 3 gone (no processes remain), ~630MB RAM reclaimed. Swap is still holding those cold pages but they'll drain as the kernel reuses them — nothing to act on.
Final state: memory 5.5/11Gi used, 1.7Gi free + 4.6Gi cache. Load was the only other mild item at ~4.9/6 cores — worth a glance if it stays above 5 during market hours, but nothing urgent right now.
