How to view SWAP information on Linux

Here is a small utility I have used to check the amount of swap space on linux machines.

Generally you would like to have 1 to 1.5 times the amount of swap space as you have RAM.



On a linux machine you can check the swap values with the following command run from a command prompt.

swapon -s

Hope this helps.
