It can be done entirely in userspace, if you want it. Just hack your shell to examine some extended attribute of your choice, and adjust the nice value before executing files. Then arrange to have the shell run with a negative nice value. This can be easily accomplished with a simple wrapper, only for the shell. -- Måns Rullgård [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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/
