I want to cut setiathome down to say only 50% so that my psu case fan doesn't kick in but still leave seti running.
Have a look at the nice command, man nice
With nice the command uses as much of unused cpu cycles as it need, if no other process running at a higher priority needs them. What he is asking is different: use at most 50% CPU, even if it is completely idling. I like that idea... but I don't know how to do it, nor if it is possible. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
