Simple swap setup script for Ubuntu (14.04)

Swap is an area on a hard drive that has been designated as a place where the operating system can temporarily store data that it can no longer hold in RAM.

Usage

First of all, download the main script:

wget http://git.io/MJDcxw -O swap

Then simply run the file with this format:

sh swap {size}

Example (2G is enough usually):

sh swap 2G

The default path for the swap file is /swapfile. If you wish to change this, simple the file location (FILE MUST NOT EXIST) add it to the command:

sh swap 2G /swapfile
