hello, all!
i recently reported a problem with setting up my swapfile and it was
suggested i e-mail my /etc/rc.d/init.d/swap script. i have also included
my /etc/fstab file for completeness.
do these look correct?
the problem is that no disk space is allocated to my swapfile as reported
by the 'free' command. so without any further ado...
--------
/etc/rc.d/init.d/swap:
#!/bin/sh
#
# swap This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# swap.

case "$1" in

echo -n "Starting swap. "

status swap

echo "Usage: swap {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
