Without these Exactly how did you come to the conclusion that these are not present? Did you change the standard C library? I don't think a system will work properly if these weren't there. > renice will not change the users' settings. > 2. how would I go about making the reniced settings stick through > reboots? Well, a nice setting stays with a certain process until it dies. Obviously, when the system restarts, all processes die. If you want to set a default nice value for a group of users, take a look at login.conf(5). If you just want to renice specific processes and trust that they won't die until another reboot, you could create a simple shell script with a bunch of `<find PID of process> | xargs renice 4 -p` lines and run it when the system boots up via rc.local (or /usr/local/etc/rc.d).
