Well, I knew there had to be a "static" way to read top. -bS is
it. If NICE is 9, then renice-n -9 pid ought to reset it to 0;
so in C, the check for nice or "n" would be trivial:
if (n != 0)
n = -n;
In you example, would this be if ($1 != 0) $1 = -$1;
then a '{system("renice -n $")};
or is this disallowed in awk?
