Thanks for the info. Sure i can change the process priority thro' the 'nice' command but i posted this query since my system seems to go slow suddenly after execution of a system command like tar, ftp, copying of large files or linking of libraries (compiling of executables). There seems to be a marked delay between the completion of the system command and the hanging of the cursor (mouse). I seem to be observing this especially in 6.2 since previously i had loaded 5.3 and it was not giving any problems.

I am using Suse 6.2 Linux on a Intel PIII m/c. Can I change the kernel parameters like process priority, max. no. of processes, memory that can be addressed thro' Yast or by editing any configuration files. I need this since my m/c is hanging intermittently.
You can change process priority using the 'nice' command. If you start the process with 'nice <command>' it will reduce its process priority by 10, but the command can also be used to give a command a totally different nice number. See 'man nice' for more info. Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with the other two.
