When I nice(1) a job on my 3130, the command seems to have no effect, and the job runs at the same priority as the interactive session whatever the increment used. However, if I issue a nice(1) command as super-user the job is pushed deep into the background as required. Why is this? And how can I change things so that users can nice their own jobs without being super-user? Hugh Cartwright. Physical Chemistry, Oxford University, UK. (HCART@vax.ox.ac.uk or hmc@physchem.ox.ac.uk)
