And we all know where "obvious" gets us. So, it only reports processes where nice is less than zero, or processes where the user has decided to be nice? Hmmm... seems it would be more useful to report processes set to be more "hungry". Ah, well, I'm sure patches would be welcome. :) Thanks, everyone! ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@blackhelicopters.org http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
