Excuse me, butthis IS a stupid question. I've tried to figure it out logically and by experimentation; just want to see if my findings jib with the unix wizards onlist. Now/then i do a portupgrade; I probably should just cron this, but it has given me problems before, so I do it while I can monitor the run. I'll do # portupgrade -akOPv then go ahead and work on other things. Question is What do I renice the run at [ruby] to set it to low at very low-power? I've tried like -17 and +17 (or just 17) because I learned that nice'ing the prio level higher than 0 was giving it a lower prio. Thus the rest of what I was doing could run anmost unaffected. Sometimes I'll be running a vi or two with portupgrade the Only other thing running [compiling, usually], and my editing is extremely slow. So what renice value should i use [normally]? Another question is for if i ever decide to cron portupgrade every week or so. What nice values is best? thanks, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.79a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
