SwapManager - view and manage system swap space
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.7. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME SwapManager - view and manage system swap space SYNOPSIS /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaSwapCatalog.cdf DESCRIPTION Managers display information about your system and provide access to interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your system. For example, the User Manager displays a list of the user accounts currently on the system and gives you access to guides like "Add a User Account" and "Modify a User Account." In a Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window. The Swap Manager monitors the system's swap configuration. Every 5 seconds it uses the swapctl(2) system call to get the current swap information and update its display. GUIDES Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users through the steps necessary to perform various system administration tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the system. A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys). When the user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the system executes one or more privileged commands to perform the system administration task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privcmd. See runpriv(1M) for more information about privileged commands. Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1)) in order to perform the task. Add Real Swap Space This guide lets the user create a swap file on a local filesystem and add it to the system's swap configuration. The new swap element will remain across power-ups until explicitly removed. The privileges needed for this task are: o Add Local File Swap (addLocalFileSwap(1M)). o List All Filesystems (listAllDiskFS(1M)), a default privilege o Show xlv (xlvShow(1M)), a default privilege Add Virtual Swap Space This guide lets the user add virtual swap. It requires a different privilege from adding real, logical swap space, since administrators may wish to grant one privilege and not the other. The privilege needed for this task is: o Add Virtual Swap (addVirtualSwap(1M)). Remove Swap Space This guide lets the user delete an element of virtual or real, logical swap space. The privilege needed for this task is: o Remove Swap (removeSwap(1M)) SEE ALSO sysmgr(1M), runpriv(1M), addLocalFileSwap(1M), addVirtualSwap(1M), removeSwap(1M), swap(1M), swapctl(2)
