First on topic post! Currently, setpriority() doesn't allow non- uid 0 users to use a nice value above 0. If you set "priority" in /etc/login.conf to a higher value, all you are doing is making every stinking process on the system run at that value initially, which is a disaster. My question is: Is there, or will there be a facility to allow certain non-root users to set higher/raise nice values? This would be a dream for desktop machines where there is essentially one user, because that user could have a non-zero uid, and control of process scheduling. -Craig
