Swap Switching Scripts

Latest Version - sixwheeledbeast

Now uses "EOF gainroot" script, although this causes multiple banner messages in the ejectsd script, not sure how to fix. The first switching script works perfectly and fixes the multiple swapping due to a reorder.

Original script from main page

This script can be run via Terminal or using an application like Queen BeeCon Widget.

It is for refreshing swap if main swap space is on Micro SD Partition 2.

run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteDialog string:"Start Swap Refresh" uint32:0 string:"OK"; sudo swapon /dev/mmcblk0p3 ; sudo swapoff /dev/mmcblk1p2 ; run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:"Swapping Back to Main Swap on SD..." ; sudo swapon /dev/mmcblk1p2 ; sudo swapoff /dev/mmcblk0p3 ; run-standalone.sh dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteDialog string:"Swap Refresh Complete" uint32:0 string:"OK"

This script can be modified to suit different swap locations as required.
