Description

This package provides a command-line interface to manage swap space to a Linux system.

It prompts the user for the desired swap size in GB and then adds the swap space using the dd and mkswap commands. After the swap space has been added, it updates /etc/fstab to make the swap permanent. It also has an options of removing, increasing and decreasing the memory size.

Download & Install

pip install swapsys
sudo pip install swapsys

Note: Please note that some operating systems might be equipped with the python3 and pip3 commands instead of python and pip.

Usage

swapsys

Note: Make sure you provide full path of swapsys (which swapsys to get the path) with sudo or run with root user as updating /etc/fstab requires root permission.
