If you visit the developer's site there is source code available. Hopefully we will have someone bite soon to make this Tiger compatible. Would sure be handy.

Does what it says under Panther 10.3.8 on my PB - helps me to avoid a disk full alert on my relatively small boot partition, which was filling up with the increasingly bigger swapfiles. Now all my swapfiles get written onto another partition and interestingly they are all 76.2mb in size (no more getting bigger and bigger).

Swap Cop CommentaryNo panther here - Version: 1.1.2, 12/2/2003 10:46PM PST

I don't enable root, so I see "check /etc/rc - VM already running" under Panther.

(I'm surprised it would make a difference, given that the app authenticates and thus should get root privileges.)

I don't recall any problems under Jaguar, oddly enough.

Swap Cop ReviewSwapCop works with 10.2 - Version: 1.1.2, 10/24/2003 05:50PM PST

as long as you login as 'root' for the initial change and then again for the cleanup (delete old swapfile on original partition).

Swap Cop CommentaryHere's the text… - Version: 1.1.2, 3/10/2003 01:43AM PST

from the link that LeonardShelby posted (just in case it disappears some time): Warning to all who want to use Swap Cop in 10.2 - just don't. All that'll happen is that you'll get an error message during bootup saying "check /etc/rc - VM already running." And your swap will still be where it was, in your main OS X partition. I received the following missive from Joshua Schrier via email; I hope he doesn't mind me quoting him. "There have been significant changes in SystemStarter and the disk-mounting process during boot in OS 10.2. We are currently working with the Darwin team to integrate the functionality of Swap Cop into the operating system, and will probably update the software for 10.2 at some point in the future, as we learn more from them."
