You've been on this list and using OpenBSD for long enough that you should be trying things like "man nice", "apropos nice" and "man top" before asking these kinds of questions. Also, Googling for "unix nice" also yields plenty of info. If you learn how to find answers to extremely basic questions on your own using provided documentation it will save you a lot of time. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
