Once in a while, I ran into a problem while running some Unix commands on
my SUN station {like who, df...}. The command aborts with the following
error message:
sorry, pid xxxx was killed due to swap problems in xalloc: no swap space
for text
This is on a SUN 3/160 with 8MB of physical memory and and 17MB of swap I
did notice some background jobs running (about 6 of them that are running
uucico and sendbatch).
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

[[ You can check to see how much swap space is left with the command
"/etc/pstat -s". If there isn't enough, increase it. Describing how to
do that is probably more than should be put in a comment like this.
