The 'nice' command will lower priorities.

It doesn't seem fair to just kill the process, causing potential damage to a database or something. On the other hand, the system load cannot run away. What is a good recommended system load, or is there one? (is it machine specific?) Is there a way to assign lower priority to certain processes, causing *them* to run slower rather than the whole machine?

I'm pleased with my SUSE Linux 5.3 Installation. I was using a very famous Linux distribution with Linux kernel 2.0.27. Since I wanted FAT32 support and video support for SiS5597/5598, I switched to SUSE. Wow, am I pleased ! Everything seems to work out of the box, including sound, X and the K desktop. Thanks to the excellent work of SUSE Company.

I have managed to install it onto a Toshiba Libretto 50CT 75Mhz 16mb It's brought life back to an almost depreciated machine(under win95)! I was wondering if anyone has had any encounters with Linux and mobile phones... i.e. I would like to connect me Libretto to my Nokia phone which has infra-red comms capabilities... I have had this working under win95 but cannot find any drivers/apps which allow me to do such a thing... any help/tips/Url's would be most appreciated... The software that allows me to use the comms also has a serial cable which connects to the phone. I have tried under kppp and minicom.... but to no prevail. also are there any Power management apps ...at present I'm having to boot each time I take it out of standby... ( this leads to another problem whereby the machine hangs in KDE, if I an in command prompt mode I cannot start any WM's I get a list of Stack/buffer addresses etc.) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] KDM graphic login problem. Suse 5.2
by suse_list＠hotmail.com 04 Dec '98

04 Dec '98

Hi all, I am a relatively new user of linux. I got Suse5.2 a few months back and got my system set up and running well. I haven't had time to use it for the last few months though, so have forgotten a lot of what I learned. I am having problems with the graphic login. I have had it running previously, but anaged to screw it up somehow a few months back and don't know how to fix it. (Well I could fix it with a re-install but I don't want to do that). When I boot up linux, it goes through all the usual stuff until it tries to go into the graphical login (I'm using kdm). It tries to start up the graphic login then flashes back to the usual text login prompt. Then it again tries to go to the graphic login and then flashes back to the text login prompt again. It just goes on continuing to do this until I re-boot. Then when it starts up again the same thing happens. I can fix it by turning off the graphical login and just using the text one, and starting x manually but this is a pain in the ***. I vaguely remember that this may have something to do with shadow passwords but I'm not entirely sure. Nor can I remember where to look to change the shadow passwords if this is the case. Can anyone help me?
