Write your own plugin -- these ones are designed for Linux, and don't work
well anywhere else that i've seen.
 
The command to check swap is swapinfo, which should be in your /usr/sbin
directory on HPUX (maybe that's new for 11.x, but I dunno).

I no longer have access to HPUX boxes, so I may be of little further
help...

    "Workaround: don't pound on the mouse like a wild monkey."
