Negative priorities are higher, but that's not what is being set. For historical compatibilty, "nice" takes a numeric option as a nice value, so "nice -n X" is the same as "nice -X" (it appears this behavior is not documented). You can verify this: $ nice -n 19 ps -o nice,cmd NI CMD 19 ps -o nice,cmd $ nice -19 ps -o nice,cmd NI CMD 19 ps -o nice,cmd -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
