We are running 4.2BSD on a VAX 11/750. When a job has been running continuously for ten minutes it's "nice" value automatically drops from 0 to 4. As the ordinary user is not allowed to raise the "nice" value, here is a way to stop it going to 4: using "/etc/renice", set it to 1 before the system sets it to 4 -- it will stay at 1 for ever more. -- UUCP: ...!seismo!mcvax!ukc!dcl-cs!stephen DARPA: stephen%lancs.comp@ucl-cs | Post: University of Lancaster, JANET: stephen@uk.ac.lancs.comp | Department of Computing, Phone: +44 524 65201 Ext. 4599 | Bailrigg, Lancaster, UK.
