I believe that BackupPC_nightly is running as "backuppc" user and as such can only reduce it priority (ie +20), not lower (ie -20). Also, you should check that the sub-processes to see if they properly inherited this change. My guess is it will still not have much affect as your most likely IO bound and priority affects scheduling on the processor, but doesn't prioritize IO. -- Jonathan Craig ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
