I think it is probably better to add the entry to /etc/fstab and use swapon -a

Thanks. I dont intend to change swapfiles ever again! So in that sense
I will add the line to /etc/fstab, and add "swapon -a" to the end of
rc.local. I just want to hear someone say "You wont break anything"
before I do that.

"swapon -a" uses /etc/fstab to find swap files and partitions.  If you
don't want to put an entry in /etc/fstab, then you have to give swapon
an argument that explicitly identifies the swap file or partition.
