My thinking is that I would like to increase the scheduling priority to speed up the lag time from a request and start of the program (if I understand it correctly) Right now as a default the NICE level is set at 0 (system PRI is 2). How can I set it (if possible) for it to have abetter NICE level, lets say -5 for certain programs in the inetd.conf? Thanks for any help in this matter!!
