Summary
This chapter delves into the realm of Linux SWAP commands, which are crucial for efficient memory management and performance optimization in Linux systems. The chapter highlights two key commands: swapon and free. The swapon command enables system administrators to activate and configure swap devices or files, thereby adding extra memory resources to the system. Lastly, the free command provides real-time information on memory usage, aiding in the identification of memory-related issues and assisting in capacity planning.
In the next chapter, we will explore a wide range of essential tools for monitoring system performance, troubleshooting issues, and debugging problems in Linux environments. These commands provide valuable insights into various aspects of the system, allowing administrators to identify and resolve issues efficiently. By mastering these commands, system administrators can maintain the stability, reliability, and performance of their Linux systems.
