Echo a value 0 to 100 into /proc/sys/vm/swappiness.

Higher the number, more swap.

Here's an interesting argument from some kernel developers:

I would at least keep a little bit of swap space. If you were to ever run out of physical memory it WILL cause a kernel panic. Just a suggestion.

And that is why we are suggesting changing swappiness instead of turning of swap.
