As for nice, from looking at top, it's already niced, even if there's no hint of that in wrapper scripts; there's a Posix API for this sort of thing, which means that wrapper scripts/utilities aren't the only (or best) way to accomplish that goal. Looking at the source code (Util/SystemPriorities.cs), it's clear that this has indeed been implemented through system calls, and the ChangeLog explains why it was done that way (indexing is niced, but garbage collection, which frees up resources for the system as a whole, is not). Since both the suggestions you're making have already been implemented, if not precisely in the forms you expect, I'm resolving this bug INVALID. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
