Because this server is monitored by Nagios and it emails me every hour a warning because the swap is not 100% free (I know it's pretty extreme, but I want to know if the system is swapping).

I just tried

swapoff -a ; swapon -a

and it worked great.

under completely normal operation when programs fit in real memory swapping CAN occur because of file caching.

while programs have priority over file cache in memory, long-unused parts of system can be swapped out.

i don't know what's nagios, but configure it to warn you not because there are swap used, but if there is more than a little swapping activity.
