> > Even if you HAD to use files, i can't imagine that writing a script that groks the output of the proper sysctl and creates a new swap file on demand would be that hard. for those usable to write simple script - there is /usr/ports/sysutils/swapd still - in XXI century disk sizes, even some overcommiting swap space doesn't make a problem. if program needs 10 or more times swap than memory, the program should be changed to use less memory hungry algorithm, or be tunable (like sort with -S) swap is NOT memory replacement
