== Swappiness Parameter ==

* Check swappiness value
<pre>
$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
</pre>

* Change swappiness value (This is only a temporary change so restarting Linux will nullify it).
<pre>
$ sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=5
</pre>

* So to change the swappiness value permanently, open the <code>/etc/sysctl.conf</code> file and edit <code>vm.swappiness</code> (add it if it does not exist).
<pre>
vm.swappiness=5
</pre>
