True. My line of thinking was that with Solaris, by using the df(1)
command you can get an approximate size of the swap partition since
/tmp and /var/run 'reside on' it, and you can get their usage
statistics.

The "weasel-languate" is because I try to stay in the habit of
questioning any knowledge I have in case it suddenly becomes
incorrect. I mean, a couple hundred years ago everyone "knew" the
Earth was flat, right? :>
