I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "release swap" (I can think of a couple of different possibilities) but I'll take a guess. Can you provide some more details? (output of swap -l, swap -s, and uname -a may be helpful also). Under normal circumstances, the majority amount of virtual memory in use on a machine is held by one or more applications. Terminating those applications will release the memory. Rebooting helps because it terminates all applications. In addition, you can add additional swap file locations on the fly with 'swap -a <filename>', which while not releasing swap will provide more so that more swap can be allocated by applications. 'ps', 'prstat', and 'top' are all handy for beginning your investigation into which applications have allocated how much memory. -- Darren Dunham [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Technical Consultant TAOS http://www.taos.com/ Got some Dr Pepper?
