[Nagiosplug-devel] check_swap in SUN OS

[Ton Voon]

Siva,

 From memory, the swap -s is around release 1.3 of the plugins. You  
can find the release on SF somewhere.

However, it would be more beneficial to us if you can explain why the  
current check_swap cannot do what you need, so we can enhance that.  
We have moved from running swap -s to making the system calls instead.

Thank you for pointing out the error in the help file. I have updated  
it now.
