Swap

Simple swap setup script for Linux

Swap is an area on a hard drive that has been designated as a place where the operating system can temporarily store data that it can no longer hold in RAM.

Disclamer: This script may not work on every GNU/Linux distro. Sorry.

Usage

First of all, download the main script using wget or curl:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cretezy/Swap/master/swap.sh -O swap
# or using curl:
# curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cretezy/Swap/master/swap.sh -o swap

Then simply run the file with this format:

sh swap <size>

Example (with 4G):

sh swap 4G

The default path for the swap file is /swapfile. If you wish to change this, simple the file location (file must not exist) add it to the command:

sh swap 4G /swap
