How do I (as a superuser) change the priority level of an user process on the rs6000 (I couldn't find the 'procntl' (sys V.4) command). And, If I (as a superuser) suspend a user process (by stop), how do I start it agian. Forgive my ignorance. -- \ystein

Use /etc/renice See the info page for more details, but the basic syntax is: /etc/renice PRIORITY process-id Where PRIORITY (when renice is executed by root) can be: -20 to 20 Negative numbers raise the processes priority above the priority of normal processes (e.g. /etc/renice -5 10177 elevates the priority of process 10177 to -5 -- normal process priority is 0). renice can also be applied to users and process groups. See the info page for more details. >And, If I (as a superuser) suspend a user process (by stop), how >do I start it agian. Presuming you did something like: kill -STOP 15177 To continue the process type: kill -CONT 15177 (Where, obviously, 15177 is replaced by the process ID you're trying to stop/start). > \ystein Hope that helps.
