The nice part is really useful for me. With it i can allow users to renice their previously niced jobs (eg. from 19 to 0). At the moment they need to call me and i do this as root. If this rlimit approach is not the solution for the audio RT stuff, can the nice part merged anyway? utz - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
