Yes, I know that are bash scripts, for this reason I ask if I should rename them before chmod (but why aren't directly in .sh instead of .txt? ).. however, mkswap and swapon/swapoff aren't recognized (are not found)..

EDIT: They are /sbin/mkswap, /sbin/swapon and /sbin/swapoff..

/sbin/swapon, /sbin/swapoff, /sbin/mkswap

We wrote at the same time

PS: Ok, now the only problem is sudo installation.
Didn't I can create swap file only from devel-su root user?

Ok perfect, at work to swap now

PS: My "real" swap (that is in ram) is always free (255 of 255 MB).. I think that the extra swap doesn't change the speed for me

PS2: How can I add /sbin/mkswap, /sbin/swapon and /sbin/swapoff to system var, because the scripts uses mkswap, swapon and swapoff instead of that described above?

EDIT: Until solution for PS2 request, I edited scripts with /sbin/ before swapon/swapoff command and now works.. in fact drop cache show me 2303 of 2303 MB free

see when you do the swap part yourself u need to use it with /sbin but once you copied the script to /etc you don't need to use /sbin the system works this way

Ok, this should be true with swap-add.conf, but doesn't work with setswap0 and rmswap0 because when I run one of them show me swapon or swapoff: not found.
Only if I modify them with /sbin/ before, they works.

Yes correct...The setswap0 and rmswap0 are not copied into etc so that's why you need to use /sbin

For swap-add.conf its in /etc so no need the /sbin

Also I personally find it easier to swapon/off on-demand instead of using the setswap0 and rmswap0 files as the file too is 1 line of command and to run the sh script you also need to type one line of command...

Ofcourse you can also do it in such a way that create 2 .desktop files that do swapon/off...the exec can be /sbin/swapon(off) and you are set

Yes, It's an idea

PS: But why swapon/swapoff scripts in firts post are incorrect? It would be better correct them for who want to try this tweak?
