+    A bash script that will kill the <strong>swap file</strong>, wait for the swap to flush.<br/>
+    Then bring the <strong>swap file</strong> back up.
+</p>
+
+## Folder Structure
+
+If you have not done so already, create a new folder called `scripts` in your **~home** folder. This is where all your scripts will go.
+
+Inside your `scripts` folder create a new folder called `swap`
+
+When done your folders structure should look like this: `/home/[USERNAME]/scripts/swap`
+
+## Set Up
+
+The script will need elevated permissions in order to execute with out human intervention. To do so we need to make some changes to the `sudoers` file.
+
+Here is how you do it:
+
+1. Open terminal, type: `sudo visudo` to open the file.
+
+2. Add these commands to second to last section.
+   
+   ```bash
+   #
+   # Locations to swap files.
+   # Change [USERNAME] to your own
+   #
+   ALL     ALL =(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/[USERNAME]/scripts/swap.sh
+   ALL     ALL =(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/[USERNAME]/Desktop/swap.sh
+   ```
+
+3. Exit and Save file. 
+   
+   * `CTRL + X` to exit file
+   * `Y` to save file
+   * `ENTER` to write file
+
+## Script
+
+### **`swap.sh`**
+
+Get the source code from this repo and save it as `swap.sh` in the **swap** folder created in the previous step.
+Next we need to change the permissions of this file so that the server can read it.
+
+1. Right click on `swap.sh` then Properties.
+
+2. Click on `Permissions` tab at top.
+
+3. Make sure Owner & Group reflect your `username` with `Read and Write` access to all.
+
+4. Check the `Execute` box to allow executing the file as a program.
+
+5. Close out the window.
+
+### **`swap.desktop`**
+
+Now we need to make the `swap.sh` script act like a regular application. Here is how you do it:
+
+Get the source code from this repo and save it as `swap.desktop` in the **swap** folder created in the previous step.
+
+Next we need to change the permissions of this file so that the server can read it.
+
+1. Right click on `swap.desktop` then Properties.
+
+2. Click on `Permissions` tab at top.
+
+3. Make sure Owner & Group reflect your `username` with `Read and Write` access to all.
+
+4. Check the `Execute` box to allow executing the file as a program.
+
+5. Close out the window.
+
+## Link
+
+We now can create a link to this new application and put it anywhere we want. Here is how you do it:
+
+1. Single click on the new **swap** application. It should be activated and indicated by changing to a new color.
+
+2. While **swap** is activated/highlighted, go to `Edit` > `Make Link`
+
+You should now see a new icon with an arrow on it. That is your new link that you can then place on your desktop. Thats where mine is.
+
+## Execute
+
+If you placed your linked file on the desktop all you have to do is **double click** the icon and the script will will call and execute `swap.sh`.
+
+The script will open a terminal and print out each step. While the script is running, (if you have **System Monitor** open) you will see the Swap line spike for a few seconds. Then it will die out. Once its dead the script waits 30 seconds for everything to flush out the system and then the script will enable **swap**.
+
+At this point swap should be at zero or super low, basically how it would be after a full system reboot.
