Hmm, looks like a real RTFM type of question. Let's see. I think we'll start at the permuted index... Lets look up the word "swap"... Hey, look at that - there's a swap(1M) command. Lets see what it says... .... -a Add the specified swap area.... .... -d Delete the specified swap area... .... -l List the status of all swap areas.... Looks like that is what you need. I know it sounds like I am flaming, but I'm not. I just think you should at least take a quick look in the permuted index before posting such a question to the net. I could understand you having a problem if it was listed under something like: diskmem(1M) - disk overflow memory allocator which looks like it has nothing to do with swap space (of course, it doesn't since it isn't a real command). -- Conor P.
