There are some related feature request for opensuseupdater: - Opensuseupdater shouldn't check for updates every time you login but on defined intervals - Opensuseupdater should wait until system load is low
I will do my best to add these features to the next kde version of opensuseupdater.

The problem is also Linux. It is difficult to implement priority by the user. So far as I know linux has only 1 default priority and thats 0 for everything. It should have a mechanism to set different default prio's for users, processes and all childs or even for a whole shellprocedure. But linux hasn't it can only set prio for 1 process and after completion you are again on the default prio of 0. Hans
If you want to change a user's default nice level you can do this by adding pri=<nicelevel> to the info field in /etc/passwd. Example: tux:x:1000:100:User Tux:/home/tux:/bin/bash => tux:x:1000:100:User Tux,pri=5:/home/tux:/bin/bash As far as I know using the info field isn't very elegant. Perhaps there is a better way.
You could also always renice to a lower priority, both for CPU and for IO priroties (nice and ionice). And there are more than two levels ;) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
