Hi guys,
Have a question regarding top PRI and the renice command....
extract from top
PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU
COMMAND
17269 brahama 1 96 0 5932K 5300K select 30:55 0.00%
perl5.8.8
Ok...what are the values of PRI? for instance if i renice this pid 10, it
will go to 106...where can i find relevant info about this...I benn lookint
and couldnt find any clear explanation...
Ok..and the renice question is regarding this parameters..
on man it says that by doing this:
renice +1 987 -u daemon root -p 32
would change the priority of process ID's 987 and 32, and all processes
owned by users daemon and root.
but i cannot seem to make it work....i want to renice peoples group
processes to 10 but i get
renice: Bad pid argument: people
like its getting people as a PID...people is a group from /etc/group..
Can this be done?
Thanks and cheers,
Agustin
