Hi again :-) When I run top, this is the output: [snip] PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 702 root 2 0 21692K 17528K select 0:36 0.73% 0.73% kmail 669 root 2 -36 6272K 5604K select 0:26 0.10% 0.10% artsd 637 root 28 0 46044K 44584K RUN 1:08 0.05% 0.05% XF86_SVGA What I can't understand is PRI and NICE, what is the difference between those two? With 'nice' or 'renice', I can give a process a new NICE, can I do the same with PRI and what values can PRI have? Also, I thought that NICE could only have the following values: -20 to 20, but as you can see, artsd have -36? br db To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
