Re: process priority

Hi,

You can use the 'nice' utility (man nice). To change
the priority of a process programatically, you can use
the nice() function (man 2 nice).

You can also use renice, to change the process priority of an alread=
y=20
running process. Unfortunatelly, you can only lower the priority of th=
e=20
process. With renice, You need to be root to put higher the priority o=
f=20
a running process. Still, it is usefull if you want to lower the=20
priority of a group of process that take lots of ressources on a system=
=20
(ex. lowering the priority of a big "find" request all over your hardis=
k=20
while you are doing something else more important).

As far as I know, both nice and renice are available for every moder=
n=20
Unix systems.
