Apparently /sbin/swapon is the traditional BSD tool to add swap to a system, but would it be breaking sacred tradition to merge swapon and the future swapoff into one "swap" management utility? The unified utility could do swapon tasks if linked to the name "swapon" and swapoff tasks if its named "swapoff". -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
