I think I'm losing touch here, but on my machine /bin/df shows
space used and available on each mounted fs partition. It does
not show swap space usage. /usr/bin/free does, however, show
swap space used and available. Also, what does removing files
from /tmp have to do with freeing swap space? What happens to
critical files in /tmp, like mysql sockets? Mysql will fail
when this is done. Isn't swap part of the virtual memory system
of Linux, and as such /bin/rm is not the proper tool to manage it?
