I went ahead and made my own changes to the source, but I need some help with the man page. Here's my work: http://www.theshell.com/~pavalos/renice.diff -Add __FBSDID -Order #include's -accept the -n argument -interpret all arguments as id's for either -g, -p, or -u. The previous renice would accept multiple -g, -p, and -u options. I'm having a hard time explaining this, so hopefully the new usage() explains it better. > It looks like NetBSD has added this functionality already, > without making hundreds of style mistakes. :) If necessary, > we could borrow their code, but I suspect the change will be > trivial enough as to not require a reference. :) I took a look after I wrote this patch and it looks like I'm not doing anything too crazy. Please let me know if there's any questions/concerns. Thanks, Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the messagehome | help
