Same script started under (user) crontab runs with nice level 2.
I would prefer it run at 0. Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks. (0 Replies)

Hi there, i'm trying to find the implementation code for the system call nice().
Since it's a system call i'm having problems finding where it would be? is it in the linux kernel directory somewhere?

Thanks in advance! (2 Replies)
Hello,
Some guy said to me that using the nice command to decrease the priority of a process is a myth, that the operating system corrects the priorities as the processes need cpu. Is this true? (4 Replies)
Hello,
I am just starting with shell scripting, as everyone will soon see from my question. What I'm trying to do is call the Nice command to set the script process priority from /bin/ksh. The difference is I'm running it not directly through the shell, but through Bigfix (very similar to... (3 Replies)

Recently our FreeBSD 7.1 i386 system became very sluggish.
Nothing much is happening over there & whatever is running takes eternity to complete.
All the troubleshooting hinted towards a very high nice percentage.
Can that be the culprit?

_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
These functions handle fork and exec operations. See files: nsd/exec.c, nsd/tclenv.c and nsthread/fork.c.
Ns_ExecArgblk(exec, dir, fdin, fdout, args, env)
Executes a command in a child process. Return process id of child process exec'ing the command or -1 on failure. Provides extended
error checking and error messages.
Ns_ExecArgv(exec, dir, fdin, fdout, argv, env)
Execute a command in a child process using fork(2) and execve(2), returns the process id of child process exec'ing the command or -1
on failure. The child sends an extended error message to the parent.
Ns_ExecProc(exec, argv)
Executes a command in a child process. Returns the process id of the child process exec'ing the command or -1 on failure. Simpli-
fies call to Ns_ExecArgv.
Ns_ExecProcess(exec, dir, fdin, fdout, args, env)
Executes a command in a child process. Returns the process id of the child process exec'ing the command or -1 on failure. Calls
Ns_ExecArgblk with same arguments.
Ns_Fork()
Posix style fork(), using fork1() on Solaris if needed. See fork(2) man page. Calls ns_fork.
Ns_GetEnviron()
Returns pointer to the environment vector.
Ns_WaitForProcess(pid, statusPtr)
Wait for child process. Returns NS_OK on success, or NS_ERROR on failure. *statusPtr is set to the exit code of the child process.
Ns_WaitProcess(pid)
Wait for child process. Calls Ns_WaitForProcess with NULL statusPtr. Returns NS_OK on success, or NS_ERROR on failure.
ns_fork()
Posix style fork(), using fork1() on Solaris if needed.
